Geoff,
Either remove the parenthesis from your sub call or add the keyword 'call' in
front of it. Like this:
formatnumber numlines, 0
-- or--
call formatnumber (numlines, 0)

Hey everyone. I'm just starting out in the world of ASP, and I have a
very basic question. Can anyone tell me why when I run the following
code in a script:
if linelength > 80 then
numlines = linelength/80
formatnumber(numlines,0) 'removes trailing decimals
response.write(line)
response.write "<br>"
toAdd = (numlines+1)*80
char=char+toAdd
end if
I am met with the error "Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0414)
Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub"
If I comment out the formatnumber(numlines,0) and add
response.write(numlines) to see what is being stored in the variable,
I get a normal value of 3.275, all ready to be formatted. I'd really
appreciate any help. Thanks a lot
-Geoff
