Variants Not Displayed When Locale Settings Not English (307450)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Commerce Server 2000
This article was previously published under Q307450

SYMPTOMS

If the locale setting on a BizDesk client uses a comma (,) instead of a period (.) as the decimal separator, the variant editor may fail to load and only a gray area may be shown.

CAUSE

A numeric overflow occurs because the comma (,) is not recognized as the decimal separator.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, change the sGetVariantIDs function in the Business Desk code in the Catalogs\Editor\Edit_product.asp file to the following: 
Function sGetVariantIDs()

	Dim iSize

	Dim sItem
	Dim sItemID
	Dim sColumnName

	iSize = CInt(100 / (UBound(g_aPvChar) + 2))
	For Each sItem In g_aPvChar
		sItemID = sReplaceSpaces(sItem)

		If (sItem = "variant_id2") Then
			sColumnName = g_sVariantID
		Else
			sColumnName = sItem
		End If

		sGetVariantIDs = sGetVariantIDs & "<column id='" & sItemID & "' width='" & iSize & "'>" & sColumnName & "</column>"
	Next

	sGetVariantIDs = sGetVariantIDs & "<column id='variant_price' width='" & iSize & "'>" & L_VariantPrice_Text & "</column>"
End Function
