PowerBASIC is a family of commercial BASIC compilers from PowerBASIC, an American software company. A pba file stores the source code for a PowerBASIC program.
The file is used as input to the PowerBASIC compiler, which builds a program for Microsoft Windows.
On Microsoft Windows, open a pba file with PowerBASIC to view, edit, and compile its source code.
A text editor can also display or edit the file, but it will not provide PowerBASIC-specific editing or compilation features.
Conversion to other formats seems to be impossible. The source code can be compiled with PowerBASIC to create a Windows program, but the compiled output is not a converted source file.
Moving the code to another programming language or BASIC compiler generally requires manual changes.
