Copy attribute name to definition using macros in ER/studio

Recently, when processing the SQL script generated by ER/studio, we found that if the definition is not defined, there will be no table and field comments after the SQL script is generated.
Therefore, a macro is written to implement this function. The Code is as follows:
Save the following code as XXX. put the bas file in the macros folder under the ER/studio installation directory, and ER/studio can be automatically loaded to the macros tab, for example, c: \ Program Files \ Embarcadero \ erstudio6.5 \ macros
