Possibly you are misunderstanding the usage of macros. They are typically
for substituting repeating strings or blocks of statements, for example in
a replication or fuzzy-text application setup script, and the MacroBegin
and MacroEnd characters need to be set up explicitly in your script where
the macro is wanted, e.g. you might use '$$' for both MacroBegin and
MacroEnd and, in your script, include the placeholder '$$MACRO_1$$'. The
OnMacroSubstitute event is where you handle the substitution. For a simple
example,

...
if ATextBlock = 'MACRO_1' then
ATextResult := 'CREATE TRIGGER';

What task is your script trying to do with macros? What does the macro
placeholder in your script look like? What is your OnMacroSubstitute code?
