Exception occurred error

[sthmpsn1]

I am getting an Exception occurred error with this code and I don't understand why?
<%=tyears = year(date()) %>
<%=startyear = year(dbrs(&quot;hiredate&quot) %>
<%=yrsofserv = tyears - startyear %>
<p><strong>Years of service = <% yrsofserv.value %><br>

When you use the = sign instead of a response.write, you are limited to writing only a single thing. Now, this could be anything from a single integer amount to the result of a mathematical function, or a single string variable to several concatenated together. The error is occuring because ASP doesn't know wether you are trying to response.write a variable or assign one. If you are trying to get a true/false answer, you will need to rewrite a bit more, if you are simply trying to print and assign in the same statement, you will need to break it up into seperate statements.
