Well regarding this I have on solution which I got after searching a lot on the Google. Well of course there is a way you are able to make use of the Script database to a file/query.
Steps:
- Right tick on your database
- Go to Tasks>Generate Scripts
- Go after the wizard to choose the objects whose script you desire to produce. You are able to produce scripts for creation of database, table, stored procedures, values etc.
- save the file as sql.
- Run the saved file in your original database and well the whole thing will be there.

Hey do not have to worry regarding this because I have one solution and I am sure that this will help you. Because when I was facing the similar issue at that time I have tried that and it help me and after doing that till now I do not have any query in this. In this you can use defncopy for extracting stored procedure code as follows
Code:
defncopy -U<user_name> -S<server_name> out <output_file_name.txt> <db_name> <owner_name.procedure_name>
so only this much you have to do that’s it.
