ARRAY trouble shooting

I have a string that is passed through a web service.

paytxncode, I use the ASP Function split , to split it up with the & sign and we always get 8 values.

Problem is if an incorrect value is based in the web service, we get back a string with only 2 items.

How do I code to make sure the page does not fail on errors.

Here is what I have written already

ptbc=Split (paytxncode,"&") ' Once Split we get 8 values in the Array

if ISNULL(ptbc(2)) then

' Only 2 values in the array sent back
rspcode = ptbc(0)
rspdesc = ptbc(1)

rspcodetext = Split(rspcode,"=")
'Response.Write " RESPONSE CODE : " & rspcodetext(1) & ""
rspdesctext = Split(rspdesc,"=")
'Response.Write " RESPONSE DESCRIPTION : " & rspdesctext(1) & ""

else
'Normal 8 values
transtime = ptbc(0)
pan = ptbc(1)
froacc = ptbc(2)
toacc = ptbc(3)
paytxncode = ptbc(4)
appamt = ptbc(5)
rspcode = ptbc(6)
rspdesc = ptbc(7)

End if

With ubound function you could be sure that you have 8 items :

if Ubound(ptbc)<> 8 then
    response.write "error !"
    else
    response.write "ok"
end if
