Hi Pravin,
I don't know if any of you are aware of the PBDebug facility within PB.. It
was recommended to me on a Sybase newsgroup to use the PBDebug tracing
feature within PB on the compiled application on the deployment workstation
(works as well on the development workstation)... I was having a problem
with a OCX and it worked well..
Basically this feature will echo every command or instruction performed by a
compiled Powerbuilder Application to a text file
(c:\pathname\myapp.dbg).. It helps you isolated the exact command that was
executing when the application crashes (GPF, Dr. Watson) or begins to loop
etc... This is not recommended for the production environment since there
is an impact on performance... It is recommended that once you are sure of
where the problem is happening that you place statements around that
particular script that will turn the Trace feature "ON" when executing that
particular portion of code (i.e. this may be while a particular window is
open and for every action on that window everything will be recorded)...
To activate it you simply append /PBDebug execution parm to your run command
like so:
-> c:\pathname\myapp.exe /PBDebug
>From the reference manual:
"If you are building a P-code executable (PDBs), these functions are already
built into your executable. If you are building a machine code executable
(DLLs), then you must select the Trace Information check box in the Project
Painter" when you do a build.
Hope this helps you..
