Hello.
Ad 1. Do not use BrowseAccessPaths. This method is only intended for OPC 1.0 servers who are now rare, and among them, only a handful had implemented it. And, its purpose is different anyway.
The BrowseNodes, BrowseLeaves, BrowseBranches method return "element" object that should contain what you need. You have probably used the "Name" property, which indeed is not qualified. But, there is also an "ItemID", which contains the qualified name.
Ad 2. My PowerBuilder free trial has expired, so at the moment I cannot easily create new PowerBuilder examples. If that becomes necessary, I will try to obtain a new trial. For now, here is an example in VBScript which shows the principle of forcing the synchronous read. Hopefully you will be able to convert it to PowerBuilder. It only requires setting one property inside the EasyDAClient instance (see the line with long comment above it, near the bottom).
Rem This example shows how to read 4 items at once synchronously, and display their values, timestamps and qualities.
Option Explicit
Dim ReadItemArguments1: Set ReadItemArguments1 = CreateObject("OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.OperationModel.DAReadItemArguments")
ReadItemArguments1.ServerDescriptor.ServerClass = "OPCLabs.KitServer.2"
ReadItemArguments1.ItemDescriptor.ItemID = "Simulation.Random"
Dim ReadItemArguments2: Set ReadItemArguments2 = CreateObject("OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.OperationModel.DAReadItemArguments")
ReadItemArguments2.ServerDescriptor.ServerClass = "OPCLabs.KitServer.2"
ReadItemArguments2.ItemDescriptor.ItemID = "Trends.Ramp (1 min)"
Dim ReadItemArguments3: Set ReadItemArguments3 = CreateObject("OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.OperationModel.DAReadItemArguments")
ReadItemArguments3.ServerDescriptor.ServerClass = "OPCLabs.KitServer.2"
ReadItemArguments3.ItemDescriptor.ItemID = "Trends.Sine (1 min)"
Dim ReadItemArguments4: Set ReadItemArguments4 = CreateObject("OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.OperationModel.DAReadItemArguments")
ReadItemArguments4.ServerDescriptor.ServerClass = "OPCLabs.KitServer.2"
ReadItemArguments4.ItemDescriptor.ItemID = "Simulation.Register_I4"
Dim arguments(3)
Set arguments(0) = ReadItemArguments1
Set arguments(1) = ReadItemArguments2
Set arguments(2) = ReadItemArguments3
Set arguments(3) = ReadItemArguments4
Dim Client: Set Client = CreateObject("OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient")
' Specify that only synchronous method is allowed. By default, both synchronous and asynchronous methods are allowed, and
' the components picks a suitable method automatically. Disallowing asynchronous method leaves only the synchronous method
' available for selection.
Client.InstanceParameters.Mode.AllowAsynchronousMethod = False
Dim results: results = Client.ReadMultipleItems(arguments)
Dim i: For i = LBound(results) To UBound(results)
WScript.Echo "results(" & i & ").Vtq.ToString(): " & results(i).Vtq.ToString()
Next
Best regards
