PRB: VBScript Out of Memory Error When ASP Contains 64 For/Next
This article was previously published under Q174685
The following error occurs when you preview an Active Server Pages (ASP)
page that contains 64 or more For/Next loops:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03e9'
Out of memory
: The loops do not have to be executed, for example, they can be within a case statement that is never executed.
This is caused by a bug in the VBScript.dll 2.0.
This problem has been fixed in the VBScript.dll 3.0, which is released with Internet Explorer 4.0 and Internet Information Server 4.0
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Copy the code below into an ASP page. Be sure to fill in the missing 62 For/Next loops.
- Preview the file in a browser. You receive the Microsoft VBScript compilation error "'800a03e9' Out of Memory".
- Open the file in an editor and remove or comment out one of the For/Next loops.
- Save and preview the file in a browser. No error appears.
The expected behavior is no limitation on the number of For/Next loops.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<%
For x = 1 To 1
Response.Write "Hello1"
Next
%>
<P>
<%
For x = 1 To 1
Response.Write "Hello2"
Next
%>
.
.
(removed next 62 For/Next loops to conserve space)
.
.
<%
For x = 1 To 1
Response.Write "Hello65"
Next
%>
<P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Active Server Pages 4.0
