A user came up with a way to parse PBNI extensions using Visual Expert: "I wrote this package to solve an issue with Visual Expert: it is unable to parse PBNI extensions because they doesn't content any code, as a result these extensions are not referenced in analyses at all.

So this package will parse the PBX description and generate an empty wrapper for userobjects and global functions, then it is possible to import them in a separate PBL and just append this last one in the Visual Expert project (not in your Powerbuilder target !).

The last step is to regenerate VE analyse and it will take the famous PBNI objects and functions in account."
