PLBWIN Runtime Requirements


 

The following software is required for distribution of the Sunbelt PL/B for Windows runtime. Note that installation of the complete Sunbelt package at a user site requires that a site license be purchased for that site. Only the following files and the user generated external module (PLBWEX32.DLL) may be distributed royalty free.

Optional user created external library.

PLBWSP32.DLL

Optional user created external library support.

SUNFHSYS.DLL

Support for PLBWIN and SUNDM file io operations (runtime versions prior to 9.0 only).

SUNWODBC.DLL

This DLL is the interface driver for ODBC. This interface driver replaces the PLBWODBC.DLL module. This interface driver is the default database interface for the DBCONNECT verb.

SUNWMSQL.DLL

This DLL is the interface driver for the MYSQL Database engine. This DLL is loaded for a DBCONNECT operation when a driver indicator is specified for the <host> and the driver indicator is specified in the runtime INI file. See DBCONNECT for more details.

SUNWADO.DLL

This DLL is the interface driver for the Microsoft ADO ( ActiveX Data Objects ) interface that provides access to multiple database engines. For specifics on ADO, see the Microsoft ADO documentation. This DLL is loaded for a DBCONNECT operation when a driver indicator is specified for the <host> and the driver indicator is specified in the runtime INI file. See DBCONNECT for more details.

 

Note: In release 9.6, three ADO drivers were generated and named:

 

sunwado.dll - Compatible with 9.5 and earlier versions of driver.

 

sunwado25.dll - Compatible with 9.5A and 9.5B versions of driver.

 

sunwado28.dll - Created using latest ADO interface libraries.

 

The user should choose the appropriate 9.6 version of a SUNWADO driver depending on the previous version that was being used.

 

 

When a PLBWIN.EXE is being loaded from a CD-ROM, the following rules apply:

 

  1. The ANSI.DEF, DBSERIAL, and PLBWIN.INI files must exist in the same directory as PLBWIN.EXE.

  2. The PLB_SYSTEM entry in the PLBWIN.INI file is ignored and its value is set to the directory containing PLBWIN.EXE.
