Here is an example of simple block which composes list of "name + domain" for a dragged table when using the Text to insert form between IBExpert's DB Explorer and the SQL Editor or Script Executive:

 execute ibeblock (
   StatementID variant,
   SelectedNames variant,
   SelectedNamesFmt variant,
   SelectedTypes variant,
   ParentName variant = '',
   ParentNameFmt variant = '',
   ParentType variant,
 --------------------------------
   ObjectAlias variant = '',
   VarPrefix variant = '',
   InsertCRLF boolean = FALSE)
 RETURNS (
   StatementCaptions variant,
   StatementText variant = '',
   DoNotFormat boolean = FALSE comment 'If TRUE, no additional formatting will be performed')
 as
 begin
   -- Uncomment following line to avoid additional formatting of statement text
   DoNotFormat = TRUE;

   CRLF = ibec_CRLF();

   SQLDialect = 3;
   Conn = ibec_GetDefaultConnection();
   if (Conn is not null) then
     SQLDialect = ibec_GetConnectionProp(Conn, 'DBSQLDialect');

   if (StatementID is null) then
   begin
     if (SelectedTypes[0] = __dboTable) then
       StatementCaptions[301] = 'Name + Domain';
     suspend;
     exit;
   end

   s = '';	

   if (StatementID = 301) then
   begin
     TableName = SelectedNames[0];
     for SELECT rf.rdb$field_name, rf.rdb$field_source,
                f.rdb$field_type, f.rdb$field_sub_type, f.rdb$field_length, f.rdb$field_precision,
                f.rdb$segment_length, f.rdb$character_length, f.rdb$field_precision
         from rdb$relation_fields rf, rdb$fields f
         where (rf.rdb$relation_name = :TableName) and (f.rdb$field_name = rf.rdb$field_source)
         order by rf.rdb$field_position
         into :fname, :dname,
              :fType, :fSubType, :fLength, :fScale, :fSegLength, :fCharLength, :fPrecision
     do
     begin
       FieldType = ibec_IBTypeToStr(fType, fSubType, fLength, fScale, fSegLength, fCharLength, fPrecision, SQLDialect);
       if (InsertCRLF and (s <> '')) then
         s .= CRLF;
       else
         s .= ' ';
       s .= VarPrefix + ibec_FormatIdent(ibec_Trim(fname));
       if (ibec_Copy(dname, 1, 4) <> 'RDB$') then
         s .= ' ' + ibec_FormatIdent(ibec_Trim(dname));
       else
         s .= ' ' + FieldType;
     end
     s = ibec_Trim(s);
   end

   StatementText = s;

   suspend;
 end
