Hey Everyone:

I'm having trouble doing some simple multiplication in DTML, specifically:

     <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('value', unitPrice[_['sequence-index']])">
     <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('qty', quantity[_['sequence-index']])">
     <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('totalCost', qty*value)">

It's the last line that causes the error. I've tried a number of things,
such as converting the variables to floats, all with no success.  I receive
the following Zope Error:


Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: Illegal sequence repeat

I appreciate any help.
