How you will proceed – PB Docs 2019

1

Start PowerBuilder; begin familiarizing yourself with
the development environment; use the Workspace wizard and the
Template Application wizard to create an Application object,
windows, and menus in a PowerBuilder workspace and
target.

2

Explore the PowerBuilder environment and customize
the workspace.

3

Create a login window to allow the user to enter
database connection parameters (user ID and
password).

4

Connect to the database using the Transaction object
and user-entry parameters; see how database profiles are defined
in the PowerBuilder environment.

5

Change the base sheet window by adding master and
detail DataWindow controls; add scripts to allow users to retrieve
data and perform insert, update, and delete operations against the
database.

6

Modify the frame menu and create a new sheet menu for
the application.

7-8

Build the DataWindow objects that retrieve customer
and product information, then add them to the Customer and Product
windows.

9

Run the tutorial application in debug mode; see how
to set breakpoints in scripts, step through the code, and display
the contents of variables.

10

Create a new window to test exception handling in
PowerBuilder.

11

Create an executable file that you can use to run the
application outside the PowerBuilder development
environment.
