You have a dynamically named column that you can't use with the function
ValueList(). This leaves two options:
Option 1 (use an alias to get a fixed column name):
<cfquery datasource="#dsn#" name="qGetFilenames">
SELECT #imageColumnName# AS mycol FROM products
UNION
SELECT #imageColumnName# AS mycol FROM dolls
</cfquery>
<cfset fileNames = ValueList(qGetFilenames.mycol)>
Option 2 (use evaluate):
<cfquery datasource="#dsn#" name="qGetFilenames">
SELECT #imageColumnName# FROM products
UNION
SELECT #imageColumnName# FROM dolls
</cfquery>
<cfset fileNames =
Evaluate("ValueList(qGetFilenames.#imageColumnName#")>
Evaluate is not a very performant function and should only be used if
there is no other option (and there usually is another option)
