the file C:\Temp\abc.pem is good.

Answer

It seems you have a certificate, not a public key. Load the Certificate PEM into Chilkat.Cert object, and then call the cert object's method to get the public key. (Consult the online reference documentation..)

thanks for the tip, this is code in PowerBuilder:

oleobject loo_Cert
oleobject loo_PublicKey

string ls_PubKey_xml

loo_Cert = create oleobject
loo_PublicKey = create oleobject

loo_Cert.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Cert")
loo_PublicKey.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.PublicKey")

loo_Cert.LoadFromFile('C:\temp\abc.pem')  //Set path to pem & load to Cert Obj
loo_PublicKey = loo_Cert.ExportPublicKey()//Export Public Key from Cert to PublicKey obj 
ls_PubKey_xml = loo_PublicKey.GetXml()    //get xml
//
