SYMPTOMS
When you enter a negative number (for example, &quot;-1&quot;) in the ASP files cached in memory text box in the Internet Services Manager (ISM), you may receive the following error message:

Unacceptable Character

You can only type a number here.



CAUSE
The ASP file cache text boxes can only contain positive integers.



RESOLUTION
Although there is no option to cache an unlimited number of files in memory, you can specify up to 2,000,000,000 files to be cached in memory.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Although &quot;-1&quot; (meaning unlimited in-memory cache) is a legal metabase value for the AspScriptFileCacheSize property, this cannot be changed in the ISM. The ISM can only contain positive integers.
