Please be aware that the content in SAP SQL Anywhere Forum will be migrated to the SAP Community in June and this forum will be retired.

In SQL Anywhere 11.0.1 the "MESSAGE ... FOR CONNECTION ... IMMEDIATE" syntax was added which allowed a second connection to receive a message promptly without needing to be making requests.
It is impossible to register the ODBC message callback function from PowerBuilder (see, please, http://sybase.public.sqlanywhere.general.narkive.com/Uh4GdI5g/implementing-database-push ).
Perhaps such a "callback" is feasible, for example, using external libraries for PB12.x ?

PowerScript does not support callbacks but the PowerBuilder Native Interface (PBNI) should. I have no experience with PBNI so I cannot confirm but perhaps you can raise a question in a PowerBuilder forum asking how to implement callbacks in PBNI. Historically, we have suggested creating a DLL that implements the callback and PB can call into the DLL to check for the return from the callback.
