Tom/Sean Ben Forta actually explains this in detail in one of his CF5.0 books and it actually looked powerful.. since u are evaluating/declaring/assigning variables all at once...in one statement ...ran fast as well. I was getting the impression.. JRUN didnt like ";"..since it ends the statement in java. >> <cfset x=1> >> <cfset Result=iif(x,"z='Arg1';5","z='Arg2';10")> Anyways i guess re-write....
Does CFMX advice any other way..than writing CFIF's or CFSCRIPT IF's?

Just to clarify Tom's comment, this is one of those cases where should *not* have worked in CF5 but unfortunately it did. It wasn't how the language was defined, it just happened to be permitted by a bug in CF5... So, CFMX is correct - the expression was never meant to be legal.
