Not sure the code looks fine, you could try doing a cfdump before the cfif
to see the values.
Also I don't know where people are learning this behaviour
<cfif IsDefined ("url.variable22") AND #url.variable22# EQ "OEX" OR
#url.variable22# EQ "RT">
But #'s are used to output, so the correct way to write this is
<cfif IsDefined ("url.variable22") AND url.variable22 EQ "OEX" OR
url.variable22 EQ "RT">
Also it might be easier to write the code like this instead of isDefined
<cfif structKeyExists(url, 'variable22) and url.variable22 eq "OEX" or
url.variable22 eq "RT"
One last thing you could also do, but you can confirm this with a cfdump, is
to put trim() around you variables to remove any whitespace, for example.
<cfif structKeyExists(url, 'variable22) and trim(url.variable22) eq "OEX" or
trim(url.variable22) eq "RT"
As you don't say why it is not working, is it just not comparing, or is it
throwing an exception? I am going to assume it is failing the condition
check, but you can do this right before your cfif
<cfdump var="#url#" /><cfabort />
And see what is inside the variables is indeed what you expect or not.
