There is none. PENDING is what you get when Nagios hasn't checked it. If 
you want that to happen you need to delete the retention data for those 
objects (usually status.sav or nagios.sav or something similar).

That's because you can't tell nagios (in a check-result) that it hasn't 
checked the service yet.

As for your previous question;
Originally, the $SERVICESTATE$ macros were only used in notifications. 
No notifications were (are, actually) ever sent on PENDING states. The 
$LASTSERVICESTATE$ could possibly contain it though, but I'm not so sure 
whether this is a good idea or not.
