A PSR file is a special file with the extension PSR created by PowerBuilder, InfoMaker, or DataWindow Designer.
A PSR file contains a DataWindow definition (source and object) as well as the data contained in the DataWindow object when the PSR file was created.
About reports
A report is the same as a nonupdatable DataWindow object.
For more information, see “Reports versus DataWindow objects”.
You can use a PSR file to save a complete report (report design and data). This can be especially important if you need to keep a snapshot of data taken against a database that changes frequently.
PowerBuilder creates a PSR file when you save data in the Powersoft report file format. See “Saving data in an external file”. PSR files are used primarily by InfoMaker, a reporting tool. When an InfoMaker user opens a PSR file, InfoMaker displays the report in the Report painter. If InfoMaker is not already running, opening a PSR file automatically starts InfoMaker.
To open a PSR file in PowerBuilder, open any DataWindow object, then select File>Open File and select the PSR file.
