BUG: A Long String Is Displayed in a Single Line When You Edit a Catalog Category by Calling the Edit_category.asp Page in Commerce Server 2000 Business Desk (326137)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Commerce Server 2000

This article was previously published under Q326137

SYMPTOMS

When you edit a catalog category by calling the edit_category.asp page in Commerce Server 2000 Business Desk, a long string is displayed in a single line. However, on other pages in Commerce Server 2000 Business Desk (such as the edit_product.asp page), a long string is displayed in multiple lines for the category description.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because ASP code line 394 in edit_category.asp is incorrect.

Line 394 in edit_category.asp contains the following code:

subtype='<% If (iMaxLength > 80) Then %>short<% Else %>long<% End If %>'>

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\retailbizdesk\Catalogs\Editor
or move to the location in which the Business Desk files are unpupped, and then open the edit_category.asp page. Replace code line 394 with the following:

subtype='<% If (iMaxLength > 80) Then %>long<% Else %>short<% End If %>'>

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Commerce Server 2000. This behavior no longer occurs in Commerce Server 2002 Business Desk.
