Ok.... I did a little research. I found that strings are passed by value to functions. When you set a variable equal to another string, you're actually setting it equal to a copy of the string. When you do the Duplicate() function, you actually try to dereference the CFCATCH variable (which is a scalar variable) hence, the error. Try setting dumpInfo = CFCATCH and not a duplicate.
This may be something with the way java handles the duplicate function and may not degrade gracefully anymore. Hope I was able to help in some way (keep in mind I am stuck using CF4.0 still) Rob Edwards Phone: (502) 359-1627 Systems Management Tools Pager: (502) 478-1116 United Parcel Service Fax: (502) 359-0094 EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2B || !2B) == ? -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 4:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFMX error - again!!
