pblCompare

Power builder is an object oriented programming language owned by Sybase which has a similar functionality as that of Microsoft Visual Studio. Application development is quiet simplified on this platform but many a times developers have been seen facing issues when they upgrade their applications keeping their previous application as base. During this upgradation, some errors may come up in the program due to bug errors and solutions to such problems is often demanded by developers. pblCompare v.2.27 is a shareware tool by UniSoft Ltd. which provides complete solution for viewing the differences between group of libraries, complete applications or certain objects.

pblCompare v.2.27 simplifies the task of seeking out any differences between the source codes of different libraries or applications. The program works through a simplified graphical user interface where it lists out all the libraries with their status i.e. whether they are modified or in the same form. The detailed column format view of the libraries also shows the date and size of source as well as destination files. The program acts as a good management tool with which you can check and verify all the changes made to the applications before you finally release it in the market. If the application breaks down due to some error in the upgradation procedure, this application will accurately let you know the changes and why the error occurred. It is to note that this application is just a viewer of the changes and can not modify the files in any way as a corrective measure. The application can easily export the source for an object and does not require any Application Programming Interface of Powerbuilder to read the files in PBL format.

Summing it up, pblCompare v.2.27 is a nice program which can help you to solve major errors in the Powerbuilder program upgradations, leading it to score three and a half rating points on the scale of five.

pblCompare is a tool for visual PowerBuilder Library File comparison. It has a number of simple and convenient features that many users have been asking for a long time from a PowerBuilder source code comparison tool.
pblCompare is used to highlight and report on the changes made between versions of library files used for developing PowerBuilder Applications including; complete applications, groups of libraries, single objects.
1. Use as a management tool to check all the changes to an application before a new release.
2. Find out what and why the changes you just made broke the application!
3. export source for objects.
4. pblCompare does not modify PBL's in any way. It's a viewer only.
5. PowerBuilder is NOT required. pblCompare does not use PowerBuilder API to read PBL format.
6. pblCompare supports PBL format of PowerBuilder 6 and higher.
pblCompare may be used to compare the contents of two PowerBuilder library files or of more. It may be invoked using several methods depending on what you wish to do.
pblCompare has three views, they are PowerBuilder library files list view, Objects in library file list view and Object source code view.
The default view of pblCompare is PowerBuilder library files list view. Files in list are opened by select the file names which extension .pbw, .pbt or .pbl.
The Object list view list items in a PowerBuilder library file, this file would be opened from library list view or opened using Open file dialog.
The Object source code view is split into two panes (for the object source code to be compared) with the menus and toolbar above. For details on opening and comparing PowerBuilder library files please
