### Extract ABL Annotations

Source: https://docs.progress.com/bundle/openedge-developer-studio-help/page/ABL-Annotation-content-builder

This code snippet demonstrates how the ABL Annotation content builder extracts and processes ABL annotations from source files. It identifies annotations by lines starting with '@', parses them, and stores relevant data like content type, entry type, entry name, attributes, and attribute values in a catalog database. The example shows the processing of a '@program' annotation.

```ABL
@program (name = "inventory.p", module = "warehouse")
```
