Counting Lines of Code

[joycepoole]

Hi!
Does anyone know of a good (preferably quick) way to count
lines of code in a PowerBuilder application? Thanks!

Are you looking for the number of lines in the entire app or
in one window?

That being said, Lines of Code isn't really a good metric for evaluating the complexity of a PowerBuilder application...
First of all, it's a 4GL, not a 3GL, so things like creating and instantiating visual widgets (buttons, menus, etc)
aren't in the lines of code that you have to write. Secondly, the datawindow itself blows any LOC calculation out of
the water. The functionality behind a single line of code "dw_1.update()" is pretty incredible.

Counting lines in objects: Lists / Objects / View / Show / Object Line
Count

Counting just lines in scripts: Lists / Scripts / View / Show / Line
Count.

Depends on what you're after. (Of course, I've yet to see a tool that
counted an ancestor script of 20 lines with 10 descendants as 200
lines. <g>)

Good luck,
