Explanation

The program portion of this page is several lines long. It writes the current time to the response object, then generates a random number (intSel) between 0 and 2.

The value of intSel determines which of three messages will be written to the response object using a Case statement.

The final response.write statement outputs the current date.

Note that this example includes only one program segment (between < and >). One may place any number of program segments in an ASP page.
