You could simple run powershell.exe from PowerBuilder.

e.g.

Run ("powershell.exe  -command 'hello';start-sleep 10")

Have a look at https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/error-checking-if-outlook-exe-process-is-running-with-m365-apps-for-enterprise-outlook-application 

Do a search on that page for "wbemscripting", I'm a noob on this, but it might enable you to run powershell commands?

Run (.....cmd)

The above sudo will run powershell command but not return anything. Run function return 0 or 1. But, we need data that we getting from command.

Detail:-

Run ("powershell.exe  -command Set-Location 'C:\'; mkdir .\Test -ea 0; "some command it will return some output json here";)

The above code will create test folder in C drive and get some json data. Here, Ineed json data, but run will return only 0 or 1. 

anyone knows how return Json data?

Just in case you like to use dirty quick work with cmd then following might be useful. This sample code sends email through Powershell.

 I suggest the example that Roland Smith talks about is better way.

String psPath = "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
Integer li_FileNum
String theCmd

li_FileNum = FileOpen("C:\Temp\cmd.ps1", LineMode!, Write!, LockWrite!, Replace!)

theCmd = "$EmailFrom = ~"" + SendFrom.Text + "~""
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

theCmd = "$EmailTo = ~"" + SendTo.Text + "~""
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

theCmd = "$Subject = ~""+Subject.Text+"~""
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

theCmd = "$Body = ~""+ Msg.Text + "~"" 
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

theCmd = "$SMTPServer = ~"smtp.gmail.com~""
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

theCmd = "$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SmtpServer, 587)"
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

theCmd = "$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true"
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

theCmd = "$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential(~"fartonheart@gmail.com~", ~"goldplated123~");"
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

//theCmd = "$emailattachment = ~"c:\temp\datawindow.pdf~""
//FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)
//
//theCmd = "$attachment = New-Object System.Net.Mail.Attachment($emailattachment, ~'text/plain~')"
//FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)
//
//theCmd = "$Attachments.Add($attachment)"
//FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)
//
theCmd = "$IsBodyHTML = $false"
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

theCmd = "$SMTPClient.Send($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $Subject, $Body)"
FileWrite(li_FileNum, theCmd)

FileClose(li_FileNum)

int li_rc 
string ls_command 
string ls_directory 
ls_directory = "C:\temp"
ls_command = 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "&' 
ls_command += " '" + ls_directory + "\cmd.ps1' " 
li_rc = Run ( ls_command, Minimized! )
