I'm getting this following error:
C:\Tomcat\work\localhost_8080%2Fka\_0002fjsp_0002fFactors_0002ejspFactors_jsp_227.java:267: Missing term.
When I do this:

<%
         if (new String("LAE_MONTHLY_EXPENSE").equalsIgnoreCase(request.getParameter("cmbFactor")))
 {
             for (int i=0;i<factorLMEList.getNumberOfFactorLME();i++)
             {
                  nextfactor = factorLMEList.getFactorLMEs(i);
                  startdate = nextfactor.getstartDate();
                  enddate = nextfactor.getendDate();
                  orgunit = nextfactor.getorgUnit();
                  ulaeFactor = nextfactor.getulaeFactor();
                  out.print("<OPTION value=" <% = i %>">" + startdate + ", " + enddate + ", " + orgunit + ", " + ulaeFactor +"</OPTION>");
             }
 }
%>

I've tried a few things to get that loop varable (i) to be included in the option, but have had no luck.
Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance.

It seems to me that you're trying to embed code inside of code.

 
out.print("<OPTION value=" <% = i %>">" + startdate + ", " + enddate + ", " + orgunit + ", " + ulaeFactor +"</OPTION>");  

Have you tried:

 
out.print("<OPTION value=" + i + ">" + startdate + ", " + enddate + ", " + orgunit + ", " + ulaeFactor +"</OPTION>");  

I'm not sure what string you are trying to produce, but the above code is at least legal. The error message was complaining about the < sign, which it was interpreting as a less-than operator.

That was the only solution that I did not try. This works great!
Thanks a bunch. It always looks easy once you have a solution!
Thanks agian.
