Saving retrieved rows to disk

If you want to maximize the amount of memory available to
PowerBuilder and other running applications, PowerBuilder can save
retrieved data on your hard disk in a temporary file rather than keep
the data in memory. PowerBuilder swaps rows of data from the temporary
file into memory as needed to display data.

To maximize available memory by saving retrieved rows to
disk

Select Rows > Retrieve Options > Rows to Disk from the
menu bar.

With this setting, when displaying data, PowerBuilder swaps
rows of data from the temporary file into memory instead of
keeping all the retrieved rows of data in memory.
