The SAP PowerBuilder integrated development environment file is a compiled binary distribution format originally developed by Powersoft and currently maintained by SAP. It functions as a dynamic library for application deployment, containing the compiled scripts and object definitions required for runtime execution in enterprise environments. While inherently safe, these files represent a legacy technology primarily utilized in older client-server architectures and require a specific runtime engine to operate.
