• Upgrading applications to the current version of
  PowerBuilder

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

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

  Also read the PowerBuilder release bulletin and the Upgrading
  PowerBuilder Applications technical document.
