Anyone here use this or know much about it?

I have been asked by a colleague to find out the maximum size the compiled EXE can be of a program made using Powerbuilder.

After a few hours searching google I have come up with nothing. Please save my reputation as a decent researcher!

2Gb is the absolute limit however Powerbuilder is pretty tight so anything around 1mb could even be regarded as big...

Thanks, I'll pass it on.

We've got a 15MB program which when compiled isn't all being included. We believe the problem to be that it's larger than PB will allow but can't get a figure anywhere telling us the maximum size.

I've just read however that the recommendation is to keep the PB created EXE to under 800K for access reasons

If the EXE is larger than this, which it obviously is at 15Mb, the recommendation is to offload the code into some PBD files to keep the EXE size down.
