Hey Ian... Question... and I think I can guess at the answer but I'd rather know your thoughts for sure...
Why are you using ucase() on a numeric value? I'm assuming because it's not always going to be numeric, right? Next question... is the value in this variable being set by a process that insures it's a string, or could something like this be happening: <cfset myVar = 000002> <-- note: no quotes. Numerical, not string literal <cfset testVar = ucase(myvar)> It doesn't do anything wrong in a test page, but it might be affecting the cfqueryparam tag... so give this a try: value="#ucase(toString(arguments.dataStruct.Tran_Code))#" Also, do you have your cfargument tag's type="" attribute set explicity to type="struct" because that may be affecting things. Give'm a try, let us know...
