If you want to make some profiling on your code

1 – go to System Options / Profiling, check Enable Tracing and enter the path of a non existing file in Trace file Name. Also, select the trace activities that you want to survey.

2 – start your application and do the task that you want to analyze

3 – stop your program

4 – in Powerbuilder, File / New... / Tool and select one of the profiling viewers, between Profiling class view, Profiling routine view or Profiling trace view, depending on the type of analyze.

Usualy, I get some useful timing information with the Trace view : times and hit counts.
