InfoMaker uses libraries to hold objects. A library is a file with the file extension PBL (pronounced pibble):
filename.pbl
In InfoMaker, you use the Library painter to work with the objects and libraries you create.
The Library painter workspace displays objects in all libraries on your computer, but you can set the Library painter to display only objects in the current library. In the Library painter, you can:
Open objects in the current library to edit them in the appropriate painters
Copy, move, and delete objects in any library
Optimize libraries
Migrate, rebuild, and regenerate libraries
Bundle reports, forms, and pipelines in an application that you and others can use
For information about creating an application, see Chapter 21, “Working with Applications.”
You cannot create a library or rename a library in the Library painter. For information about creating a library, see “Creating new libraries”.
You cannot create new reports, forms, queries, or pipelines in the Library painter.
You cannot open objects that are not in the current library.
