GetComputerName API call

[jaws]

I am trying to simply get the name of the computer the program is running on. My sample code is

name$ = space$(255)
nameLen = Len(name$)
calldll #kernel32, "GetComputerNameA",_
name$ as Ptr,_
nameLen as Long ,_
ret as Short
print name$
print nameLen
input jw$
end

When I run this it gives me a:
Runtime Error: Protection Violation

I know this is probably a simple error, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
