Hi all. I have a powerbuilder app that runs from the scheduler to automatically generate PDFs from datawindows, hence no messageboxes, etc. 

When I added some messageboxes to debug, the app worked. When I remove those, it hangs. I suspect that the message boxes allowed other threads to process, kind of like do_events() from VB. Is there a similar function in powerbuilder? How do I get the same effect as the messageboxes, while not popping up message boxes?

Hi George;

  Instead of a MessageBox() command .. try a Yield() command instead. HTH

Regards ... Chris

you should specify:  PB version & PDF generation method used

 

It sounds like you have some other problem in your code.   I do similar processing without issue

This app currently works, running on a 2003 server. I migrated from 2017 to 2019 R3 and installed on a windows 2016 server. It has worked every step along the way until I put it on the new server.

your problem is possibly related to MAPI email

Using MAPI, your PB app communicates with the email client on the machine it is running on (usually Outlook). SMTP would be better because it communicates directly with the mail server.
