If I've been reading correctly, this was the original point of the thread... the fact that you'd have to maintain an exact duplicate of the PB extended attributes in both servers (Watcom & Sybase), provided you don't use database-specific syntax.
In answer to your question, you'd transfer the PB extended attributes the same way you'd transfer data from a user table since they're stored in regular (pb*) tables. If all I had was PB, I'd use the database painter to save all the rows for each powerbuilder table to text files (one for each table), then import the same files into the PB tables on the second server.
