Runtime Error

Hi there

One of my pages has suddenly stopped working and i'm trying to figure out what it could be associated with.

Is anyone able to help me with the following:

I have a as ASP page. Data is fed to this page from another computer and each piece of information is separated by a '|'. So, I am using an array to spilt the data e.g. aryLineData = split(dataline,"|")and then build a table.

A user with a lot of data is getting the following error message on screen:
Microsoft VBScript Runtime Error '800a0009' Subscript Out Of Range: '[Number: 1]'.

Now, it could be a number of things:
1. the computer that 'feeds' the data to the page needs to be rebooted
2. There is a problem with the array function - as I am fairly new to using arrays, do they hold a maximum amount of data before breaking?
3. Another program i'm also using on the page, ASPTear, may not be able to cope with the amount of data - does anyone know anything about ASPTear and whether this might be the case?

Can anyone shed some light with points 2 and 3 and help me to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance

Can you explain on how the data is been handled after using split() method? Because the error that you mentioned is something related to trying to access the subscript that is out of arrays range (say array has a maximum subscript of 3, but you may be trying to accessing 4).

So in your case, it should be like the "dataline" variable should not be containing any "|" in it, so on split the "aryLineData" contains only value in its ZEROth subscript and you may be trying to access [b]aryLineData(1)[/]b

So you do a response.write dataline before the line that uses SPLIT() method.

Code:

Response.Write dataline
Response.End
aryLineData = split(dataline,"|")

This should shed some/much light on that issue;).

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
