created within the page.

Subject: Referring to variables
Okay, another "best practice" question, I guess...
I have inherited an application from someone. In going through the code, I
notice that this person refers to several variables by using
"Variables.(whatever)". I'm assuming "Variables" is a reserverd term? I
can't find any documentation on this in my reference books.
Why would one choose to reference variables by preceding it this way?
For example:
<CFDIRECTORY ACTION="List" DIRECTORY="mypath" NAME="CurrentDir">
<cfoutput>
<CFIF #CurrentDir.Name# IS ""> <CFSET PRODUCTION="TRUE">
<CFELSE> <CFSET PRODUCTION="FALSE">
</CFIF>
</cfoutput>
<CFIF #Variables.PRODUCTION# IS "TRUE"> ... etc.
I would write the IF statement as:
<CFIF PRODUCTION IS "TRUE">... etc.
Why did this other person refer to "Variables.PRODUCTION"? They've done
this throughout the code...
Thanks!
Terri
