• Migrating applications to the current version of PowerBuilder
  2017 R3

  If you have applications and PowerBuilder library files (PBLs)
  that you created in an earlier version of PowerBuilder, you can migrate
  them to version 2017 R3. Before you do, make sure your PBLs can be
  successfully regenerated under the earlier version, and make backup
  copies.

  PowerBuilder 2017 R3 are Unicode enabled, and some changes are
  made to your code when you migrate an application from PowerBuilder 9.x
  or earlier. For details, see the section called “Migrating targets” in Users Guide.

  Also read the migration
  issues section in the PowerBuilder release bulletin and the
  Migrating
  PowerBuilder Applications technical document.
