I got the problem! The problem was somewhere in the variable lookup. In the document, where the multiplication took place, the variable var was overgiven by a form from another document. The multiplication worked fine, but the dtml-var expression returned the origin value as it was overgiven. So I just renamed the multiplicated one and it's done. Nevertheless thank you.

Works just peachy for me:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('var', _.int(var)*5)"> <dtml-var var>

Call this script with ?var=5 and it prints 25. Why do you think this doesn't work? What are you getting?

Hi,

what I try to do is a short multiplication.

For example just multiply a variable with 5. I tried this, but doesn't work:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('var', _.int(var)*5)">

Can someone help me?

It is just that short multiplication, so I think it is not neccessary to build a python script.

Thanks a lot

Marc
