It compiles all codes of an object(s). Regeneration is important during the DEVELOPMENT of our PB application. Regeneration is useful :

when we have an error message with no reason for it;

When we upgrade to a new version of PB, the new version should REGENERATE all its source code to update it;

When we make a change to an ancestor window that has many descendants, the CHANGES can be immediately rippled throughout all child window through regeneration. Regenerating could be called “recompiling”. When you regenerate an entry, PowerBuilder RECOMPILES the source form stored in the LIBRARY and replaces the existing compiled form with the recompiled form.
