I created a dummy dialplan where I ask the user to enter the age.
[macro-age]
exten => s,1,Background(my/age) ;;Play recorded message to enter age
exten => s,n,WaitExten(10)
exten => _XX,1,Set(AGE=${EXTEN}) ;; this line is not executing, instead
dialplan is terminating with error given below.
exten => s,n,NoOp(${AGE})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($[${LEN(${AGE})} > 0]?notEmpty)
exten => s,n,Goto(s,1)
exten => s(notEmpty),n,Background(my/thank-you)
exten => s,n,Wait(1)

The first issue I see is you are attempting to insert your pattern match
in the middle of your 's' extension, That's going to break your 's'
extension. The second issue is that you are matching on XX which will
match two digits, You need to match on _X instead if you are attempting
to match on the number 8.
I recommend you look into 'read' instead of trying to do a pattern
match.
A pattern match is a reasonable method. I use pattern matching more often
that the read() application. Try both and see which meets your needs
better.
Are you really defining a 'macro' or is that just the (misleading) name
you chose for your context. Personally, I use gosub() more, but again,
try both :)
I suggest you try 'dialplan show macro-age' to see how Asterisk is
interpreting your dialplan. I suspect it is not what you expect.
In specific, your ordering of '_xx' in the middle of 's' is odd. This
would disrupt the value of the priority in older versions of Asterisk, but
it appears that it does work in modern (I'm using 11) versions.
Also, a label ('notEmpty') belongs to a priority, not an extension.
