Kent,
What Michael said...but just as follow-up...if you did it with your SQL
statement instead in CF you would probably see a nice performance hit too...
WHERE tablename.lastname LIKE 'A%'
HTH,
John

You could use Query of Query or simply:
CFIF LEFT(LASTNAME,1) NEQ A#LASTNAME#/CFIF

Thanks
CFOUTPUT QUERY=list
cfif Left(LastName,1) eq A#LASTNAME#/CFIF, #FIRSTNAME#
#DEPARTMENT#BR
/CFOUTPUT
On top of the Query suggestions...
What you're doing here is only not displaying the surname, but quite
happily displaying the FirstName and Department, no matter what the name
is...

Hi,
I have a problem with the syntax below.
This works:
cfif #LCase(ListGetAt(GetFontFamily.sti,1,'.'))# CONTAINS 'aachen'
...code...
cfelse
...code...
/cfif
This does not:
cfif #LCase(ListGetAt(GetFontFamily.sti,1,'.'))# CONTAINS 'aachen' OR
'adelon'
...code...
1 - 100 of 111 matches
