1	string ls_setprn

string ls_prntrs = PrintGetPrinters ( )

1	string ls_prntrs = PrintGetPrinters ( )

ll_place=pos (ls_prntrs, "~n")

1	ll_place=pos (ls_prntrs, "~n")

mle_1.text = PrintGetPrinters ( )

1	mle_1.text = PrintGetPrinters ( )

ls_setprn = Left (ls_prntrs, ll_place - 1)

1	ls_setprn = Left (ls_prntrs, ll_place - 1)
