Until recently I dis not see this message.
In the last fortnight I have encountered this message on about five occasions. The first time it occurred I ended up replacing my profile.
Last week I was debugging a program and observed that when using "WIN$PRINTER" without any additional features, my programs were running OK.
Today, I ran a program which has terminated normally for years, but today it threw up the above message.
As I was running in debug mode at the time, I notices that it terminated abnormally when it reached the section of code below:
INITIALIZE WINPRINT-SELECTION.
INITIALIZE WINPRINT-NO-OF-PRINTERS.
MOVE "CutePDF Writer" TO WINPRINT-NAME.
CALL "WIN$PRINTER" USING WINPRINT-GET-PRINTER-INFO-EX,
WINPRINT-SELECTION
GIVING PRINT-STATUS.
MOVE 9 TO WINPRINT-CURR-PAPERSIZE.
CALL "WIN$PRINTER" USING WINPRINT-SET-PRINTER-EX,
WINPRINT-SELECTION
GIVING PRINT-STATUS.
CALL 'WIN$PRINTER' USING WINPRINT-SETUP
GIVING PRINT-STATUS.
IF PRINT-STATUS < 1
GO TO EXIT-PROGRAM.
The common thread appears to be when using one of the apecial WIN$PRINTER features and in most programs these features are required.
I am using Acu-Cobol Version 5 and in the process of migrating to Version 0.
Can any one give me any clues as to what I should be aware of, or what modules I should be looking for to correct this problem.
I would really appreciate any advice on this matter.
