Error: "List_price Must Be a Number Between 0 and 2147483648"

- Microsoft Commerce Server, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Page.RequestMoneyAsNumber datafunction in Commerce Server, you may experience the following error message:

   list_price must be a number between 0 and 2147483648

CAUSE

One cause for this error message is that the RequestMoneyAsNumber function uses the Number settings, rather than the Currency settings, for a specific locale. This only happens in cases where the Number format and the Currency format are not identical, such as Local &H041D (Swedish). The Swedish locale uses the following formats:

   Number  :  1 234,56
   Currency:  1.234,56

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you can do any of the following:

• Do not use any digit grouping symbol.
• Use a space as the digit grouping symbol.
• In the case of a Swedish locale, use the Danish locale in RequestMoneyAsNumber, as in the following example:

        File name: _UPDATE.ASP
  

        Change the following:
  

           list_price = mscsPage.RequestMoneyAsNumber("list_price", null, 0,
           2147483648)
  
        To:
  
           list_price = mscsPage.RequestMoneyAsNumber("list_price", null, 0,
           2147483648, 1030)
