Below are the macros that are useful while trafficking any VAST or VPAID URL in any adserver or player

DFP Video Macros

Macros are special strings in a creative’s code snippet that DFP later replaces with another value based on a creative’s settings. Macros can be included in any code that’s processed by the ad server during the delivery process: third-party or custom creative code, DoubleClick Rich Media code, click-through URLs, or DFP tags.
For each macro, DFP have provided suggestions on how you might use it, but macros can be put to whatever uses are most valuable for you.

Note that the macros %%HEIGHT%% and %%WIDTH%% will cause problem while saving the VAST or VPAID tag provided by the client.
By Default, If the player is IMA SDK integrated, It can detect player dimension. However In Case if we have to used it anyhow,

Two Options are there
1) Hard Coding the player dimension so that the creative will get saved inside DFP.
2)vJust replace the % present in height and width with %25, It will allow you to save as shown below
w=%25%25WIDTH%25%25&h=%25%25HEIGHT%25%25
