Topic awaiting preservation: Calculation problem (ASP)

Hi, guys. Please help.
I am trying to calculate using ASP.

Here is my code:

If Request.Form("cal") = "Calculation" Then

    Dim q,p

    q = Request.Form("quant")

		p = Request.Form("price")

	  Response.write(q)

		Response.Write(p)

		Response.write(q*p)

End IF

When user click calculation button, cost have to be printed on the screen.
But this line:

Response.Write(q*p)

it is causing error.
I don't know why cuz I did tutorial and got a code like this:

<%

sub vbproc(num1,num2)

response.write(num1*num2)

end sub

%>

Hmm......Please help!
