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

Note the group separator of a space in the Number format and the dot in the Currency format.

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)

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commerce Server versions 2.0 and 3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
