1. use <enter-command> instead of ":".
2. don't use SPACE between >< , whatever SPACE does for you.
3. debug the fail case by starting with only the part up to 1st
<enter>, then step-by-step expand it with 1 more <> at a time, but
without sending <enter> so you see where the macro ends, i.e. why
it fails.
 When you know that, finding workarounds should be easier.
 (at 1st glance I don't see why it would offer a "save" dialog)

This is quite not enough to analyze it further. More context!
