Hello,

We discovered we are having issues with one of our developer machines running 2019 R3 2703. Out of 5 machines tested so far. One is adding something like the following to one of our ole objects.:

Start of PowerBuilder Binary Data Section : Do NOT Edit 000000000000000000 a bunch of hex numbers 00000000000000000000000000000000000 End of PowerBuilder Binary Data Section : No Source Expected After This Point


This now seems to be causing some issues keeping thing in sync.

Do you know what I can look for to see why the one machine is adding that area?

For example when just doing a checkout(perforce), adding a letter to the title, then deleting letter, and finally saving.

Then when the other machines use that object, the area gets deleted in source.

When using an OLE control, the PB object always has a Binary Data section at the end. If all the developers have the OLE provider app installed, it should keep that section when exporting for source control.

I would create a separate object of the OLE control and place that object on the window. That way you can modify the window and leave the OLE object unchanged.

All of your developers need the same set of OLE objects, with the same versions (whether it's DLL or OCX) so that they all have the same GUID. There might also be difference if the OS is 32 or 64 bit, especially if the provider for the OLE object didn't generate the same GUID for both bitness.

Sorry I don't fully understand yet.



We used ole for setting up a word document. Does that mean I look for the same version of word?
