We are using PowerBuilder 2019 R2.  (19.1.0.2353)

When we run our application, that was generated using the autocompiler (pbc190.exe) we are getting an error:

When we build the application using the IDE and run it there are no errors.

There are some file size differences between the two for some of the .pbd files that get created.

There seems to be an issue with the autocompiler.

I've checked that the versions match.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Anything else I can check?

Hi Gene;

  In the PB external compiler ... check if the command line entries package your DWO's properly via a PSR file assignment or via marking the PBL where the DWO's reside either a PBD or DLL.

Hi Chris,

The command line compiles all the targets in the workspace (there are 4 targets). It's pretty simple and is using the defaults: 

pbc190.exe /d csland.pbw

I do have three different versions of PB on my PC (12.5.2, 2017 R3 and 2019 R2), which is where I have been testing. I don't know if that might cause an issue. We are using Git for SCC. We aren't using any resource files.

On our build server we only have the PB 2019 R2 autocompiler. On the build server we specify more command line arguments but the result is the same, it also generates the error.

Hi Gene;

This sounds like a "reproducible" issue. If so, please open a Support Ticket for this problem.

Why would you get a runtime error in the compiler? Bizarre.

Hi Roland,



The runtime error is not in the compiler, it is in the executable created by the compiler.

The compiler runs without any errors.



If i create the executable with the IDE I don't get the runtime error.

Add some debug messages or logging so that you know:

What is the datawindow object

How many rows in the datawindow/datastore

What row was passed to the GetItemXXX call

What column was passed to the GetItemXXX call



Maybe the datawindow object didn't get included in the PBD which leads to zero rows retrieved.
