DDL Property Macros

The DDL Property macros provide a convenient way of retrieving element property values (that is, Tagged Values). In the scope of data modeling there are two groups of properties:

Internal properties (those that Enterprise Architect recognizes and uses in its compares) and
User-defined properties

These property macros provide access to properties defined against the various elements. All property macros have the same syntax, return a string and require the name of the property to be specified.

Syntax: propertyMacroName:"propertyName"
