The user interface for PB6 and earlier was very difficult to use. PB7 was a big improvement but PB8 is where the current IDE started. You should try migrating to PB9 since you have that.

A few days ago someone asked about the PB 9.0.3 MR installer. It is still on my website if you want to move to PB 9. Run your PB 9 GA installer and then the MR.

Hi Mark;

  You really need the PB v6.5 IDE installed to view the source code of your App properly.

You could however also try a 3rd party product, for example ...

Thank you so much, Chris and Roland, for your expert advice. 

I have PB 6.5 disks for version 1.1.1 of Jaguar CTS and version 1.5 of PowerSite.  Is either of those considered to be the integrated development environment (IDE) of which you spoke, Chris?  Or is the IDE installable from the main installation disks?

Perhaps I should just install the update to 7.0 and then to 9.0, as Roland suggests, and use that version of the IDE and then check back in with you for further assistance.

I downloaded the zip file. The .pbd files are compiled code, the .pbl files contain the source code.

In PB 6 the 'library list' which is the list of .pbl files that make up the app are stored in the pb.ini file. In PB 9, there is the target file (.pbt) which is a text file that contains the library list.

Oddly when I opened it in PB 9, it didn't prompt me to migrate.

It looks like the objects involved in database connect are uf_connect in ancestor.pbl and w_login in main.pbl. The object uf_dberror in ancestor.pbl has database error numbers which will be different.

Thanks for your latest comment, Roland.  I'm guessing that you didn't get prompted to migrate because this app was compiled and linked in version 9, but, then, where is the PBT file?  I didn't see it.  

Thanks for finding the modules applicable to making the connection to the back end.  I'll be upgrading to version 7 and then to version 9 to be able to see the code in these modules.  Not familiar with the naming convention.  What do you think the "uf" stands for at the beginning of the name of some of these modules?  You stated that the uf_dberror module has DB error numbers that will be different.  Different from what?

Hi Mark;

  You should have a CD for the main PB 6.5 installation. The other disks you mention were extra separate products that came with the "Enterprise" version of PB 6.x.

Hi Mark;

  Thank you for posting your App's source code. Just as an FYI .. I was able to migrate the source code into PB2017R3 or PB2019 (the latest & supported versions of PowerBuilder). The migration went without error and a Full Build has also been done without any warnings or errors. I can now see your entire App's source code in the new PB IDE, as follows:

  My suggestion at this point - since you neither seem to have the correct PB release install CD (even if you had - installing under W10 would probably be another issue), do not have PB experience and are trying to use PB versions not certified for current MS-Windows (and I am guessing maybe even current DBMS versions) - would be to:

1) Install a supported PB version. Note that you can install an Appeon PB "Trial" version for free to test with and at least then view your App's source code:  https://www.appeon.com/freetrial?product=pb

2) Contact an Appeon Consulting Partner to help you expedite the return to working order of your PB application(s). FYI:  https://www.appeon.com/consultants/consulting-partners

Just my $0.02 suggestion.

I had no problem installing v6.5 on my Windows 10 laptop.  I just discovered that the version 7.0 disk I thought I had is actually a 7.0.3 update.  I get prompted to install version 7 before installing that update.  The version 9 disk prompts me to install version 7.x or 8.x before installing version 9.  So, it looks like I'm stuck without the version 7 installation disk.  Any suggestions?
