How do I use a negative number as an argument in an if statement in asp?

I'm trying to write some code in ASP to basically say the following:





if x %26lt; -2 then


y=4


end if





However, the statement never makes it through when x really is less than a negative 2. I've tried putting parentheses around the -2, but that doesn't help.





Any ideas?How do I use a negative number as an argument in an if statement in asp?
try ';if x+2 %26lt; 0 then';





if not, make sure you are comparing what you think you are comparing...
