I think a "cfloop condition" is more appropriate in your situation
than "cfloop index". Something like this:
<cfset x = 36>
<cfloop condition="x gt 0" >
<cfoutput>#x#</cfoutput>
<cfset x = x - 1>
</cfloop>
You can add your calculation/condition inside the loop. Basically,
whenever x hits 0, the loop ends. So, if you do not make sure that x
will hit zero somehow, your loop will keep on looping until the end of
days. HTH.
