Make this:

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="cant:int" SIZE="3"  MAXLENGTH="3">

first, so that cant will be a number when it reaches your DTML.

As far as I know, DTML does not have the ability to call range() for
iterative purposes.  The only way I know of to do what you want without an
ExternalMethod is to use recursion.
