Procedures

ASP code can contain procedures and functions:

<html>
<head>
<%
sub vbproc(num1,num2)
response.write(num1*num2)
end sub
%>
</head>

<body>
The result of the calculation is: <%call vbproc(3,4)%>
</body>

</html>

Insert the <%@ language="language" %> line above the <html> tag if you want to write procedures or functions in a scripting language other than the default:

<%@ language="javascript" %>
<html>
<head>
<%
function jsproc(num1,num2)
{
Response.Write(num1*num2)
}
%>
</head>

<body>
The result of the calculation is: <%jsproc(3,4)%>
</body>

</html>

Calling a Procedure

When calling a VBScript or a JavaScript procedure from an ASP page written in VBScript, you can use the "call" keyword followed by the procedure name. If a procedure requires parameters, the parameter list must be enclosed in parentheses when using the "call" keyword. If you omit the "call" keyword, the parameter list must not be enclosed in parentheses. If the procedure has no parameters, the parentheses are optional.

When calling a JavaScript or a VBScript procedure from an ASP page written in JavaScript, always use parentheses after the procedure name.
