This is what Isaac was talking about.

on CFMX 7 arraySum(queryname.coluname) doesn't work.  But
arraySum(queryname['columnName']) does.  The trick is getting a reference to
the array to return from the call.

You can use either dot or indexed notation to access the query, just not
structure functions to work with it.

For example you CAN do queryname.columnname - this is exactly like doing
structure.keyname.  You can also do queryname["columnname"]. However you
can't do StructClear(queryname).

But as I said you can use most array functions on query columns (generally
those that don't affect the order or the number of items in the array).
Want a total of a column of numbers?  Don't loop!  Use
ArraySum(queryname.columname).

It's pretty powerful stuff when you know the limitations.
