Assuming that you know the name of the services on the host, you can use:

 	$SERVICEMACRO:host_name:service_description$

to retrieve the value of $SERVICEMACRO$ as relevant for host_name/ 
service_description.  Note that these will be as of the last check made 
for that host/service, which may be some time ago.

There isn't a way to get, via the macros, a list of services on a host.
