Here is the event, which does get called:

procedure TConverterForm.sysCreateScriptMacroSubstitute(Sender: TComponent;
const ATextBlock: string; var ATextResult: string);
begin
ATextResult := '"' + newDB.Text + '"';
end;

Here is the SQL statement from the TIB_Script object:

CREATE DATABASE <<database>>
USER 'SYSDBA' PASSWORD 'masterkey';

<< and >> are set as MacroBegin and MacroEnd.

I tried

CREATE DATABASE "<<database>>"
USER 'SYSDBA' PASSWORD 'masterkey';

so I wouldn't have to provide the quotes, but then the parser didn't
see the macro.

Is there some documentation on how the macro substitution actually works?
I just inferred it from property and event names and 38 years of writing
code
for money, but am not sure if I got it right or not.
