Absolutely. Just define your macro with the as follows
DEFAULT_MACRO PATH "C:\temp\shapefiles"
DEFAULT_MACRO FILE "theResult"
and access the values with $() like this
DEFAULT_MACRO DestDataset "$(PATH)\$(FILE)"
and your transformation and output definition would look like this
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAPE_1 outdata \
att1 %c
SHAPE_2 $(DestDataset) \
ATTRIBUTE %c
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAPE_2_DEF $(DestDataset) \
SHAPE_GEOMETRY shape_polygon \
ATTRIBUTE char(20)
you can modify these Macros on the command line like this
fme myprog.fmw --PATH the/new/path -- FILE theNewFileName
