Hi,

We are getting 64-bit executables are throwing "Error opening DLL library pbws32.dll external function at line 17 in function getipaddress of object in event/function".

Could you let us know how to resolve this? I looked at one the post here but couldn't follow it completely.

I will really appreciate your help.

 

Thanks

Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,

You cannot call 32-bit DLLs from 64-bit executable.

As I remember, PBWS32.DLL is a third party DLL. It's name tells me it is probably a 32-bit compilation. So i expect you need a 64-bit version of "PBWS32.DL".

PBWS32.DLL was provided as part of PowerBuilder 5.

Try my Winsock example, it supports 32bit and 64bit.

Sanjay, I would pick Roland's free code sample leveraging standard O/S functionality. PowerBuilder 5 was developed ~25 years ago. I see no reason picking 3rd party code serving a tech niche 25 years ago when similar or "better" functionality is now part of the O/S.

My two euro-cents worth of recommendations - /Michael
