Hi Francisco;

  That DLL is not from Appeon. This was originally (AFAIK) from an external 3rd party product.

FYI:  https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/pbcrypt-dll-provided-in-pb-runtime-package-of-2019-r3-is-not-working

   However, the built-in Cryptor object was not introduced into Appeon PB until release PB2019 R2 or higher. So if you are not on a newer release, this would not be in the PB runtime.

Regards ... Chris

Thanks Armeen .. but that would have been the "pbCSI170.dll" module in that release.

For PB 2019 GA=>R2 ... the module was named "pbcrypt190.dll"

It was only in PB 2019 R3 and higher that the runtime module was renamed to "pbcrypt.dll"

I was referring to to CrypterObject not the DLL name... you mentioned the object was not available until PB 2019 R2.

PBCRYPT.DLL is one of the runtime libraries in the newer versions of PowerBuilder for supporting the new CrypterObject: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022/application_techniques/PowerBuilder_runtime_files.html

What version of PowerBuilder are you using?

You can't get a good answer until you tell us what version of PowerBuilder you are using.

You didn't mention what version of PB you are using but as Armeen and Chris said, if it's >= 2017 R3 then you can just do something like:

CrypterObject     lcrypter

lcrypter = CREATE CrypterObject

lcrypter.somefunction()

 

It's as easy as that.

Really? It makes no sense to migrate from 1 unsupported version to another. Why wouldn't you migrate to PB2022 if you're going to do a migration? You will be on a supported long term version ( when R2 hits) and you will get a native CrypterObject.

Hi, Francisco - 

Since you are running a version of PB that is 11+ years old, you will need to utilize the Microsoft Crypto API. Roland has a free code sample on his Top Wiz Programming web site:

Good luck!
