Hello,

I'm getting a memory access violation error when trying to get the number of printers installed in my system.

call "WIN$PRINTER" using WINPRINT-GET-NO-PRINTERS
WINPRINT-SELECTION
end-call.
cancel "WIN$PRINTER".
move WINPRINT-NO-OF-PRINTERS to printer-count.

The fact is no printers are installed but i think i must get a zero in printer count instead of an error.

Any ideas?

Thanks afterwards

    This is a known bug, corrected in 8.0.0.
    Install a dummy printer (Generic printer to a file) to circumvent the problem.
