Hi all, I've just been checking through our applications after upgrading from CF4.5 to CFMX and came across the following strange error.
Basically I have a template which carries out various calculations to determine insurance premiums for a vehicle. So my final output variable is simply called "premium" - Straightforward enough. When I run the template using CFMX, I get the following error message: Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values. The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result as a simple value, however, the result cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex values. The most likely cause of the error is that you are trying to use a complex value as a simple one. For example, you might be trying to use a query variable in a <CFIF> tag. This was possible in ColdFusion 2.0 but creates an error in later versions. Now, when I went through my calculation steps, I found that by changing the variable name to ins_premium, everything worked fine. So, basically my question is: Is "premium" a reserved word? If so, is it in fact a complex object as suggested by the error message? Is this documented or should I be submitting it as a bug report?
