It has been a while since I posted, but here is a question I can't seem to answer.
I have inherited an ASP Classic application with several functions that have variables passed by reference that I need to convert to Cold Fusion. If I remember correctly, this practice basically passed a pointer to the variable and allows the function to change variables is the scope of the calling application. It is part of a security system used by ASP Classic, ASP.NET, Visual Basic and VB.NET. Now I need to use it with ColdFusion. I originally suggested that we use a roll based access system of our own creation using stored procedures to return the access roll for the user and then return if that roll had access to a particular element of the application. But that is a different discussion. It looks to me like the variables passed by reference (using the byref keyword) are used for return variables. If I also remember correctly, CF UDFs only allow a single return value by default. Is there a way to pass variables into a CF UDF by reference? Based upon the supposition that this is used for return variables, is it even needed? Can I use the CALLER scope to return multiple variables from the UDF?
