If you need this sort of thing you might consider having a look at the freeware DBATool. It is designed to do exactly what your program does - but it has GUI interface and a lot finer control over the manipulation of the DDL. You can independently change or remove every component of a tables storage clause independently and can even use wild cards. For example: all tables get 1M extents except for tables like XYZ% which get 100K extents except for tables XYZ1 and XYZ2 which get 10K extents. You can also put OR REPLACES automatically on packages procs etc, reset sequences to known starting values, and change the target of DB links. Its all driven by rules - so once you set it up you can save and reload the rules anytime you need them.
