What is PB DeCompiler?

PB DeCompiler

PB DeCompiler is a handy tool that helps you decompile PowerBuilder PBD files. What does that mean? Well, it works like a reverse engineering wizard, taking those files and turning them back into original source code that's easy to read.

Simple to Use Interface

Even though it has some cool features, PB DeCompiler keeps things simple with a basic interface. You won't be overwhelmed by tons of options here! It can handle files made with different versions of PowerBuilder, from version 5 all the way up to 12.

Two Modes for Everyone

This app is great for both seasoned pros and newbies. It has two modes: 'Simple' and 'Professional'. The Simple mode keeps things straightforward with fewer options in the menus, while the Professional mode adds more tools and features for those who need them.

Loading Your Files

To get started, just browse for the PowerBuilder or PocketBuilder file you want to work on. Once you load it up, PB DeCompiler analyzes your file and shows its structure while figuring out the compile mode. Plus, it offers syntax highlighting and lets you sort through everything in a tree view based on different criteria.

Your Options Galore!

You’ve got plenty of choices! With PB DeCompiler, you can recreate PBW and PBT files or export the current file or object into SR format—with or without dependencies.

Search and Navigation Features

The app also comes equipped with search and navigation tools so you can dig through your generated code easily. Want to find SQL tables or statements? No problem! You can even search for specific strings in your open scripts or source code. If you're looking for a certain function or user event name, just let PB DeCompiler do the work!

Understanding Your PBD Files

This tool helps you figure out how a PBD file was originally created. While it's user-friendly, some terms might need a bit of programming know-how to fully grasp—especially if you're new to PowerBuilder files.
