Using the SAX Basic Macro Editor
You can write and execute automation scripts using the Macro Editor. The ER/Studio Macro language consists of the
SAX BASIC language extended with ER/Studio object types. SAX BASIC is very similar to Visual Basic but there are
some differences, so be sure to note the differences described in the Automation Interface Reference.
To launch the Basic Macro Editor, click Tools > Basic Macro Editor.
NOTE: You can have a maximum of nine macro editor instances open at one time.
Code Auto-Completion
You can save time typing code using the context-sensitive editing assistant. Use the short cut menus and pop-up
menus to help you write macros. When you start the Macro Editor, a reference to the ER/Studio library is automatically
set and then you can use the menus to complete regular expressions and so on. The Editor offers the menus and
pop-ups while you write your code. Where a choice must be made, the Editor either gives you a list of choices or the
necessary syntax.
