Creating a Workspace

You can have only one PowerBuilder Workspace open at a time, but you can add as many targets or applications to the Workspace as you want, including opening and editing objects in multiple targets.

To create a new Workspace for the Appeon tutorial PowerBuilder application:

Step 1: Start PowerBuilder. The PowerBuilder IDE starts with the Appeon Developer toolbar loaded.

Type appeontutor in the File name text box and click Save.
