Modifying unsupported features

Some PowerBuilder features cannot be supported because:

  1. There are architectural differences between desktop applications and Web applications. The functionality in a Web application is often limited with regards to desktop applications.

  2. The current version of PowerServer does not support every PowerBuilder programming feature.

Unsupported features, if not modified, will be commented out in the generated Web files. The code that contains the unsupported features and other code that is dependent on those unsupported features will stop working.

This step involves modifying the unsupported features that have some functional impact on the running of the application. Some cosmetic features, such as "Border" property, can be ignored during the modification process if they will not affect the application.
