The library management functions are similar to commands in the Library painter. These functions allow you to create and delete libraries, modify library comments, and see the list of objects located within a library. They also allow you to examine objects within libraries; export their syntax; and copy, move, and delete entries.
These functions can be called outside the context of a library list and current application.
Listed here are the library management functions (which all have the prefix PBORCA_), the purpose of each, and their equivalents in the PowerBuilder Library painter:
