Actually, code review is one way of leveraging the static analysis of the code. 

You can also explore dependencies, generate diagrams or documentation, compare code, analyse code performance, etc. (here is a list for PowerBuilder , Oracle or SQL Server).

Hi Timme,

depending what results you are expecting you can also write your own code analyzer with PowerBuilder using Classdefinition object.

I wrote such a simple tool in a few days that can

- check for duplicate objects

- check for objects without a library comment

- check naming convention for objects

- check expected inheritance for objects

- check for script header

- check naming convention for functions and variables

- check for unused local variables

- check datawindow SQL against the database

- check datawindow column datatypes against the database

Hi Timme,

One option is SonarQube (https://www.sonarqube.org).

Monday at German PB user group conference (https://pbugg.de/en/agenda-2019/) Uwe from Eventim showcased using SonarQube for code analysis.

Unfortunately SonarQube doesn't support PowerScript out of the box, However, they have a recent hire fresh of college who wrote a PowerScript grammer as plugin for SonarQube. Voilá! SonarQube supports PowerScript.

Hi Iliyan, I heard about this at a user group meeting in Germany in 2019. It was internal work-in-progress at Eventim back then. I suggest you check with the Eventim guys. I assume some of them are active on ELEVATE 2020 which is live right now (and free and virtual so no travel required).

Or Iliyan, try ask a new question here on community forum on this specific topic. Probably more notice when new question instead of comment-on-comment on "old" topic. Godspeed.

If you have LOT$ of $$$money$$$ then look at the Novalys product "Visual Expert".

In fact, there's a PowerBuilder TV presentation on this product tomorrow:
