dear all,

i have a .asp file which contain calculation function (let's call the file 

calculate.asp).  i wish to call the file from other .asp page (let say 

page A).

in order to execute the calculate, i include the calculate .asp in page 

A.  



<!--#include file ="calculate.asp"-->



my problem now is, how can i send the data from page A to calculate.asp?? 

the data is needed for the calculation.



i hope some one can give me some advice.  i have no idea how should i do 

this.



thanks.



regards,

jong

This is the way that I'd do it. Wrap the functionality in the include file

into a routine (eg a function). Call the function from the main part of your

code:



--- calculator.asp ---

<%

Function fncAddTwoNumbers ( _

    ByVal intFirstNumber, _

    ByVal intSecondNumber _

    )



    fncAddTwoNumbers = intFirstNumber + intSecondNumber



End Function

%>



--- mainpage.asp ---

<!-- #include virtual="/inc/calculator.asp" -->

<%

int1 = 5

int2 = 6

intTotal = fncAddTwoNumbers(int1, int2)

Response.Write(intTotal)

%>



Cheers

Ken

Hi, The variables defined in an asp page are automatically accessible in the 

file included in it.. provided the variables should be defined ahead of the 

place where u write the include file syntax. Try like this and lemme know if 

u have more problems...

Hi jong



your code in calculate.asp should be function based. then in which file

you'll include this file then you can use functions built in this file and

pass the data as parameter which you want to calculate.



Try this.........

Just pretend that calculate.asp doesnt exist separately and infact it's code 

is directly copied and pasted in your pageA. Now proceed from here. Is this 

is what you were looking for?

Yes, something like the following will work:



--------8<----- calc.asp -----8<---------

<%



function addStuff(a,b,c)

  addStuff =3D a + b + c

end function



sub printACoolDiv()

  response.write("<DIV style=3D""position: absolute; top: 10px; " & _

                 "left: 20px; color: red; filter:

alpha(opacity=3D75)"">HELLO</DIV>")

end sub



%>

--------8<--- END calc.asp ---8<---------





--------8<----- main.asp -----8<---------



<!-- #include file=3D"calc.asp" -->



<HTML><HEAD>

<TITLE>The total is <%



response.write addStuff(7,10,3)



%></TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<%

  printACoolDiv

%>

</BODY>

</HTML>



--------8<--- END main.asp ---8<---------



So the answer is to make sure you put functions and subs in the 

included

files, then

you can access them in this way.

hi all,

i try the method --> store function in calculate.asp....

But i get this error:



Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'



Syntax error



/calculate.asp, line 2



FUNCTION totalTarget(compLev, prio)

^



here is the code that i use.





========= calculate.asp===========

<%

  FUNCTION totalTarget(compLev, prio)

    totalTarget=compLev * prio

  End FUNCTION



  FUNCTION totalActual(achLev, prio)

    totalActual=achLev(i) * prio

  End FUNCTION



  FUNCTION countPercent(actual, target)

    countPercent = actual/target * 100

  End FUNCTION

%>

===============================



here is the code i use to call the function:



============ main.asp==============

<%

For i=1 to lngTotal                                             'I have an

array of data in "skillID", "comp_level" and "LEVEL"

    skill=Request.Form("skillID")(i)

    comp=Request.Form("comp_level")(i)

    lev=request.form("LEVEL")(i)

    Set rst2=cnn.execute("SELECT * FROM SKILL_COMPETENCY WHERE

JOB_ID='"&jobID&"' AND SKILL_ID='"&skill&"'")

    prio=rst2("PRIORITY")

%>



<!--#include file ="calculate.asp"-->



<%

    target=target + totalTarget(comp,prio)

    actual=actual + totalActual(lev,prio)



   Next

    percent=countPercent(target, actual)

%>

========================================



please help me to solve this problem.



thanks.
