Summary: This document provides information about the analysis results you can expect from a PowerBuilder analysis.
What results can you expect?
Once the analysis/snapshot generation has completed, you can view the results in the normal manner (for example via CAST Enlighten):

Links
Client/Client
| Link Type | When is this type of link created? | |
| Access | - Read | Caller: Code object - fct, Event... Callee: Variable (instance, shared or global) Eg.: if a = 2 then ... endif |
| - Write | Caller: Code object - fct, Event... Callee: Variable (instance, shared or global) Eg.: a = 2 | |
| - Exec | Caller: Code objetc - fct, Event... Callee: Fct, Evt, Global Fct Eg.: a.f() Please note that when a window is opened (open(w1) for example), there will be an Access Read on w1 | |
| - Member | Caller: Code object - fct, Event... Callee: Variable (instance, shared or global) Eg.: a.b = 2 (member on a and write on b) | |
| - Array | Caller: Code object - fct, Event... Callee: Variable (instance, shared or global) Eg.: A[5].b = 2 (array on a and write on b) | |
| Prototype | When declaring an external function in an object and the function in a DLL that implements it. | |
| Use - Select - Insert - Delete - Update | When the property of an object references a datawindow. | |
| Inherit | When there is inheritance between controls, user objects, menus, and windows. In the following example, the window “w_gui_authors2” inherits from “w_gui_authors”:
| |
| Mention | During the creation of a class. The callee is always a class: (W,App,UO,M,Struct). E.g.: a = Create UO | |
| Rely On | This link is displayed when there is a link between a variable and a type. When the link is on a local type variable, the link will then be escalated internally. E.g.: w1 var | |
Client/Server
| Type of Link | Where is this type of link created? | When is this type of link created? |
| Use(): - Select - Insert - Delete - Update | Embedded SQL | - |
| Datawindow | - Link between Datawindow and table (or view) with PB SELECT | |
| - Link between Datawindow and table (or view) with SQL Select | ||
| Dynamic SQL | - Link found by the inference engine | |
| Prototype | RPC Declare Procedure Declare Cursor | - Link between the logical object corresponding to the logical name in PB and the server object. |
| Call | Datawindow | - Link between Datawindow and Procedure (or sub object in Oracle) |
| Dynamic SQL | - Link found by the inference engine for server functions or procedures | |
| Use | Dynamic SQL | - in dynamic SQL character strings. |
