If you do not like truncated PowerBuilder graph legends, PowerGraphs can solve your problem, because it allows you to display the legend any way you want.
You can use PowerGraphs to display numeric and texual data in graphic formats, making it clearer, more interesting, and easier to read.
PowerBuilder can also be used to develop web-based applications which get information from (or feed information to) a database.
PSI is a part of the Sybase Partners program.
PowerBuilder is a powerful client/server programming environment from Sybase, Inc. It can be used with a variety of databases (e.g., Oracle, SQLServer) and implemented on a variety of platforms (e.g., Windows, UNIX).
This knowledge can be acquired by practicing with PowerBuilder 7.0 painters prior to taking this class, or by completing the Using the Sybase PowerBuilder 7.0 Integrated Development Environment CBT.
Identify obsolete syntax or functionality from prior versions of PowerBuilder prior to migration of existing applications to version 8.0.
Experienced PowerBuilder developers will quickly come up to speed on the features and capabilities in PowerBuilder 8.0 and discover how PowerBuilder technology can be used to develop middle-tier components, call components written in other component models, and browser based thin-client applications.
Information technology professionals experienced in developing applications in PowerBuilder and familiar with the programming techniques and the PowerBuilder interface; PowerBuilder developers wishing to learn how to optimally distribute applications

With enhancements for XML, Java Server Pages and support for third-party application servers such as BEA's WebLogic and IBM's WebSphere, PowerBuilder 9.0 will allow developers to build for distributed, Web and client/server environments.
According to Murphy, Sybase has of late been lacking strength in the developer space.
However, he noted, PowerBuilder 9.0, EAServer 4.1 and other announcements such as the PocketBuilder plug-in to PowerBuilder and continuing improvements to PowerDesigner, should change that impression.
An extensive class library ("templates" or object-describing code that doesn't have to be created by the developer)
PowerBuilder is a popular rapid application development (RAD) tool for building object-oriented programming client/server applications the parts of which can be distributed within a network.
A major feature of PowerBuilder (and its competitors) is the ability to create databases using an object-oriented interface.

PowerBuilder 9.0 will also include XML DataWindow, which will allow developers to import data directly from XML (extensible markup language) documents or as a document using XSL Formatting Objects (Extensible Stylesheet Language-FO) syntax or PDF (Portable Document Format), said Fish.
In conjunction with third-party tools, XSL-FO makes it possible to import data into PowerBuilder from third-party applications such as Microsoft Word, he said.
After developers point to a.Net or J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) WSDL (Web Services Description Language) file, PowerBuilder will detect the relevant Web services and ports, and generate the object code to access the Web services described in the WSDL file, said Fish.

So if you don't have a tool like HarPB, you'd better have a real small application.
The setup he helped us build included UPDs for the users to trigger source refreshes, build PBLs and EXEs on a remote NT box whenever the users wanted.
We'll show how the new OrcaScript feature can be used to fully automate the build process and integrate with the Source Code Control system.
The authors show you how the new OrcaScript feature can be used to fully automate the build process and integrate with the Source Code Control system, and they list the required PowerBuilder files that need to be deployed along with the compiled applications.
With OrcaScript, it is now possible to write command-line scripts that automate this process entirely.
