Can I use a name that is a variable in send map statement in order to obtain a variable map name and to send maps with the same statement ?

Yes. You can use.

01 WS-MAP-NAME PIC X(08) VALUE 'TESTMAP'

EXEC CICS SEND
MAP(WS-MAP-NAME)
END-EXEC

Here note that, you have to define the map name variable as X(08) and not as X(07) eventhough the map name is of only 7 character length.
