We purchased R&R ReportWorks Infinity v12.5 because we have print-problems at one of our customers^ site (R&R v10 in combination with Windows Server 2008).____One of the problems is their printernames our quite long, more than 40 characters.____I had hoped that in this version v12.5 it would be possible to pass longer printernames in the field RI_WPTR of the Control file, but in the document "Xbase V12 Developing Applications.pdf" I see the maximum width of the field RI_WPTR still is 40 characters.____Is this a limiting maximum or can I extend this width ?____Regards,__Danny

Just have them change the name of the printer to a shorter name____Tom Freitas

I believe that the limit has been extended to 128 characters.____Kathleen__R&R Support

At our customers_ site we are sending a printername of 59 character via the _SetPrinter_-function to the Viewer-DLL.____Our customer gets via de GetErrorInfo-function an error with the error code "83" and error text _Invalid value width for RI_WPTR_.____It looks like the length of a printername is still limited to 40 characters,__or do I have to set other things to make longer printernames possible ?__

I thought that the length had been changed in the DLL but it may still be a problem. The alternative is to call the runtime executable with a control table instead since that does support longer printer names.____Kathleen__R&R Support
