Aha! It's always, always, ALWAYS helpful to include this information in any post to the Q&A forum.

To quote Chris Pollach's response from a Mac/ARM/Parallels question last week (https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/run-powerbuilder-in-macos-m3-harware-using-parallels):

"Both the PB IDE & runtime are built using Microsoft C++ 2022 (in PB 2022 R3), and require an Intel or Intel compliant CPU in order to run."

that dll works in windows 11 arm with pb 12?

DLL works in my OLD PB 12.5 application , but not in the PB 2022 R# IDE runtime.

Make sure the 'ref string' arguments are pre-populated using the Space function with a length that can hold the largest possible value. For example, GetTempPath can return up to 260 characters.

Yes, PB 12.5 is 32 bit and will not run x64 dll's natively.

I don't think C applications support try catch. Yoy Canadians don't know C coding very well.

We're talking the TRY...CATCH in PB.
