get (lasterror) not working in 9.0

I have an 8.5 solution that uses get (lasterror) following a print
setup (restore) script step. I have set error capture to ON in the
script

If I open this file in 9.0, the get(lasterror) function always returns
0 when I hit the cancel button in the print setup dialogue.

Whats up with that?!?!

addendum

I even set up a small test file to test just this function and got the
same result.

Here is the script:
set field [test::gLastErrorCode; ""]
set error capture (on)
Print Setup (restore)
set field [test::gLastErrorCode; get (lasterror)]

gLastErrorCode is a number field. Tried it as text as well.

Addendum2

If I replace the print setup (restore) with just Print Setup, then
cancel returns error code 1.

8.5 did not behave in this manner.

Is there a workaround or another way?

I dunno, but I have recreated the situation you describe and got the same
unexpected errors.
Returning a 1 on no options then cancel
Returning a 0 on restore then cancel
Returning a 0 on restore, no dialog

Also observing that when I changed printer settings in the last option then
hitting cancel, the new printer settings were activated.

here's my test script

Set error capture [on]
print setup [restore]
set field [MyField::Get ( lasterror)]
print setup

When in the first print setup I make a change but then hit cancel. The
lasterror returns 0 and the the second print setup comes around and shows me
that the changes I made are activated. Now this looks like a clear bug....

Keep well, Ursus

I submitted a bug report. Anyone want to suggest a workaround for
this one?
