user defined macros in RPMS ?

Hi
 
I am having a doubt about the user defined macros in RPMS.
 
I believe we can create our own macros in the .rpmmacros file. So i did create a macro called %_user_switch  xxxx in the .rpmmacros file. Now i am using this macro in the spec file's
%pre section as
 
  su %{_user_switch}
 
Now before firing rpm -Uvh,  i am redefining this macro at the command line as  rpm --define '_user_switch yyyy'
 
Now if i try to install my rpm, it is installing the files as xxxx itself ....
 
Is there any other way i can redefine a macro for rpm install ?  
 
Thanks & Regards
