Schultz’s PowerBuilder Notes

About

Over the years of being a PowerBuilder developer, I have recorded many things I have learned and I may need to refer to in the future. Some of these discoveries date back to PowerBuilder 4 and may not be relavent with the later versions of PB

I am still in the process of transferring all my notes. (Hey,  I have other things to do)

Hope you find this helpful.

  1. I still am using Powerbuilder 7. I bought powerbuilder 11 about 6 months ago and I have not even installed it as yet.

    I am basically afraid to make the move. There is so much that I do not know.

    I am always looking for new information to improve my skills I am sure I will find your tips very useful.

    If you have any advise for me then please feel free to send me an email I will appreciate it very much.

    regards,

    • We have a customer who have among 40 legacy systems in PowerBuilder 7 and using Oracle8i, release 8.1.7.4.0.

      Now their database’s team want to upgrade their database to the version 9.2.0.8.0 of Oracle, but before this we need to know if the version 7 of PowerBuilder can work with Oracle 9.2.0.8.0
      You know if is it possible?

  3. Hi there
    Your site is great!! But now I have a question for which I couldn’t find an answer yet:
    Is it possible to change the font color of a dropdown-datawindow by script? I tried the “modify” statement after putting the dddw into a datawindowchild variable. Unfortunately nothing worked so far… Do you have an idea?
    Thank you so much
    Thomas

  7. In dw I have a column that has a vertical scroll bar, edit style = Edit. How can I
    scroll the text in this column when the user scrolls with the mouse
    wheel while the focus is in this column? In PB5 it worked, in PB7 and higher not… (it works only in PB12 with edit style RichText, but I want Edit)…
    Tkanks for reply.

  8. First hoping to get some answers or direction where can get the answer and thought would try here since reading seems to be a good source of information . Tried opening a ticket or incident with SAP.com with no luck. We are looking at upgrading fro Powerbuilder 11.0 to powerbuilder 12.5 and also EASERVER 5.0 to EASERVER 6.3. Been tring to get the following questions answered.

    1)If upgrade from EASERVER 5.0 to 6.3 will PB9,PB10and PB11 report PBD’s work fine with no migrating of the current PBL files.

    2)If upgrade from EASERVER 5.0 to 6.3 will all packages need to be updated or will they work fine upgrading to EASERVER 6.3. Will any updates or programing need to be done.

    3)What DLL files or can you send me a list of the DLL files I need to upload to the EASERVER for PowerBuilder 12.5 client to work on the EASERVER 6.3.
