Welcome to PowerBuilder!!!

This time it's a new world to me, this is the first time in my life to see this kind of things immediately, after the big 'leaves' made by my late boss. He has just passed away, after being laid at the hospital for almost 2 months. There nothing can be done without any leftovers, except for my physical strength. There are almost no people involvements in the history of this development, but, alias, I found that I could carry it myself quite worthy.
What to be told is, ones never found the best solution neither by themselves nor by others, except by their virtue-driven mind. Anything could be a great achievement, just because of the good environment, fresh ingredients, quality tools and the professionals who will handle the operation just in no time. However, did you ever imagine the healthy spirit that lies beneath your body and mind that are really 'live'? If you don't aware of it presence, then you're really like the dead peoples.
So are they with our office environment recently, without the exercise of having the healthy 'brain' and right virtue, this things not gonna happen. Just like there's nobody can ever do it except for the late boss. The office is like an empty place. Nobody exists in this Powerbuilder world for the pass a couple of months. Me and my colleagues are struggling in order to find a perfect solution for the yet-to-become-injured situation, where nobody done the programming works before except for the boss. He done it alone. Without any documented papers. Without any comments. Just the code. And who will ever understand it? If not with the God's will, this could become catastrophic. With our company's status to just reaching the 'idle' state, this situation make it worst. The time is running up.
What left in my brain is prays, and hope that the things could be solved. But it does. Yes, it does work, but this solution does include all the emotional reactions from the other people(s) who are related to it, weather direct or indirectly. What they know is just only a target and a goal, to have a most beautiful handicrafted software ever made, with a 0 cost. I know it sounds impossible, but I made it. It can be done for just a couple of days or week. With my only physical strength left earlier, I stared my eyes open in front of the screen for as long as a minute before I shut it often, to make sure everything is clear and I understand the code written. Powerbuilder is designed to make the life easier, not to harden it. It is a 4GL rapid application development tool, with the target of getting the project done faster without any external resources. And the powerbuilder guys should know, the DataWindow is a most powerful PowerBuilder objects ever build to handle the database faster, even for the business peoples perspective. This means that not only the professionals should able to do it, but the novices are also able to involve in it. There are also a shorter scripts within each window, hence reducing the error should it have any - this is even helped during the close event of the window that being developed in its IDE - to check the errors immediately.
So for the business. As everybody went into the troubles, by not including the other extra 'things' that harms our organization occasionally, this could be solved immediately and happily. I hope most of the readers know what the 'harms things' is, don't ask me if you don't. Everybody should know, especially malays who are in the deep dillemas nowadays.
Just a bit of the office spice. To the business, it's still the business. None other things could disturb it, except if it is from itself as long as the business is halalan toyiba (poorly halal and free of any dirts). No matter anywhere you're in in this world, the business is just the same. Our religion(Islam) just tries to remind about life, that's the way of life. World is world, and our destiny is the truth. What's happens in this world is our step to gain our destiny. What we done in the world is what we deserve in our destiny. It's inter-related.
Ok, that's enough. I think I should publish it now. Well, see you then!!
