When I use the debugger on my trial version of 2017 R3 Powerbuilder and try to look at instance variables the system hangs and I need to kill the process.

Hi Mark,

The PowerBuilder trial is in no way different than the paid version. As of this moment, there are no known issues regarding what you're describing. The issue might stem from your specific installation or environment. 

I would suggest you reinstall the product, however, since you are on trial version, you won't be able to reinstall a trial on the same machine for at least 4 months from the date it was originally requested, so this is not an option.

The workaround you can do is to create a new Appeon Account to request a new trial, and then install that new trial on a different machine.

If the issue persists in a different environment, then it would be best to open a support ticket with specific steps on how to replicate the issue.

I did open a support ticket but I narrowed down the problem to happening after a SharedObjectRegister or SharedObjectGet call. If I set a breakpoint on the top line of the following code it works. If I set the breakpoint on the bottom line, hitting the instance tab will hang.



if not DirectoryExists(CatalogImageDir) then

CreateDirectory(CatalogImageDir)

end if

if SharedObjectRegister('uo_cache','HICacheMgr') Success! then

MessageBox("Error!", "Error registering shared object", StopSign!)

end if

if SharedObjectGet('HICacheMgr',CacheMgr) Success! then

MessageBox("Error!", "Error getting shared object", StopSign!)

end if

CacheIface = Create uo_cache_iface



CacheIface.of_registergroup(groupno)

CacheMgr.of_set_object(CacheIface)

CacheMgr.POST of_get_images()



dscat = Create n_datastore

Hi Mark;

Here are a few few things that I would try ...

1) optimize all your PBL's

2) Perform a Full Build on your App

3) Restart the IDE and try the debugging session again.
