Very useful for nested cftry/cfcatch blocks. m_steele 0 0 2007-01-11T09:47:39 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000343.htm#48476 CFTHROW does not have to be within a CFTRY block. When used outside a CFTRY block it throws an exception error that is caught by the next error handler up the 'line'.

This provides robust error handling without having to reply back to the client with custom error messages and return values. 0 0 2006-03-15T11:34:09
