There is an error in the documentation. Where the attribute says "delimiter" it should read "delimiters" as it does in the syntax and the example.

(It's wrong in the CFEclipse syntax definition, too.)

I need to update my comment above: a constant expression like #'a'# or even #1+1# does indeed work as a CFCASE VALUE in CFMX (though not CF5). When testing it (before making my last comment), I had a different problem that I misinterpreted.

Still, I'll hope that my identification here of what a constant expression is may help others.

That said, I have to say I still don't see why one would ever use one. If any readers ever think of a practical use, I'm sure others would appreciate hearing of it.

Folks, the docs here suggest that a CFCASE value can be a constant or a "constant expression". Yet nowhere do I find that term defined in the entire CFMX 7 doc set (indeed, it's used nowhere but here, as I searched).

Some have interpreted the phrase to mean an expression that resolves to a constant (such as #'a'#), but I've found that any attempt to refer to pound signs in a CFCASE value gets an error in CFMX.

What is meant above by constant expression? (I've noticed the CFMX 6.1 docs have the same issue, and have posted this there for those who don't read it here.)

That is correct. Disallowing cfbreak within cfswitch returns CF to CF 5 and CFMX functionality.

For some reason, it worked in CFMX 6.1.

Also, the cfbreak docs incorrectly state that you can use cfbreak in a cfswitch block (doc bug 59732).

With CF7 it's not allowed anymore to put an at the end of each case. Generates an context validation error.
