Functions for creating executables and dynamic libraries

These functions allow you to create executables and PowerBuilder Dynamic Libraries (PBDs and DLLs). You can specify the same options for Pcode and machine code and tracing that you can specify in the Project painter.

Using ORCA, PBDs or DLLs must be created in a separate step before creating the executable.

You must set the library list and current application before calling these functions.

Listed here are the functions for creating executables and libraries (which all have the prefix PBORCA_), the purpose of each, and their equivalents in the PowerBuilder development environment:
