Sybase on Monday announced availability of Sybase PowerBuilder 10.5, a version of the company's 4GL rapid application development tool that features improvements to the product's DataWindow technology for data access and presentation.
In version 10.5, DataWindow enables users to build complex reports and forms using autosize height functionality for all bands in a report, not just the main band where data resides, Sybase said. Also, a new presentation style, the TreeView DataWindow, enables hierarchical data to be easily displayed.
New properties in DataWindow make complex data access, manipulation and presentation easier and codeless, according to Sybase.
Also in version 10.5, a rich text control lets users deliver rich text in applications. Additionally, the product offers built-in support for new data types and boosts support for Web services.
The user interface has been enhanced with new icons, menus and toolbars.
PowerBuilder Enterprise version 10.5 is priced at $2,995. Current users on an Upgrade Subscription Plan pay $645..
