This is also true for cffile and a few other CFML tags. jrunrandy 1 1 2005-05-25T15:24:03 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000914.htm#33769 what about the "query" scope? BL_CLEARROCK 0 0 2005-05-21T01:05:54 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000914.htm#27863 The cffile variable can be considered a scope as it does not reside in the variables scope, and it is possible to write user variables to it. <br>However, we treat it as a parameter returned by the cffile tag, also known as a tag-specific variable. <br>There are several other tag-specific variables, including cfftp, cfhttp, and cfcatch. <br>These variables are documented with the corresponding tag, and are listed in CFML Quick Reference and the ColdFusion tag-specific variables page of the CFML Reference, http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000192.htm. halL 1 1 2005-02-15T08:00:02 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000914.htm#27846 If Cffile scope requires a prefix should this scope be in the Evaluating unscoped variables scope. deepu_verma 0 0 2005-02-15T00:58:55
