how to extract data combine with the parent datawindow and child datawindow? Thanks!
 
You have to do this 'manually' either by appending each child row with its parent (into a string for example) or by having a third datawindow/datastore (which has all the fields you wish to use) into which you copy the data from the parent/child datawindows and then save/extract from it.

You could try an XML-export of an nested report including your master and detail window.
Master and detail then require valid XML-templates (DW-Painter).

The newest Appeon PowerBuilder also supports JSON

Should work, long ago since I tried it.

Good luck
