Symptom
The PowerBuilder Classic development environment (IDE) crashes when compiling a large/complex target where the PowerBuilder Libraries (PBLs) have been generated by the OrcaScriptcommandscc refresh target.
Environment
PowerBuilder
Reproducing the Issue
1. Create an OrcaScript file similar to this:
start session scc connect offline scc set target "my_huge_and_complex_target.pbt" "REFRESH ALL IMPORTONLY" scc refresh target "full" scc close end session
2. Execute the script on the command prompt: orcascr220.exe myscript.orca
3. Open the PowerBuilder IDE and try to compile the target using the project painter, the PowerBuilder IDE will crash.
Cause
The command: scc refresh target "full" will do two compile passes. In some cases with complex inheritance and very large targets this is not enough.
Solution
A new option for the command scc refresh target was introduced: In addition to the three options "full", "migrate" and "incremental", there is now also an option called "3pass". Calling the command with this option will add a third compiler pass, and this should prevent the crash. Example: scc refresh target "3pass"
