Rick, I am sure that there is a lot of overhead, but I assume this type of thing (not your solution, but the CFCatch solution) is a temporary thing used for Debugging a given problem. I assume that once the problem is fixed, the code is removed.
I might be way off, but that's how I felt about it. Anyway, I gave it a test run and it works quite nicely: http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:406.view ......................

Is there a lot of overhead with throwing an exception and trapping it? If it happens a lot it might adversely affect performance. I have a site wide udf called mailDebug() that takes a string arg and then 9 optional args of type any... the string arg is called "source" so I know where the debug output is coming from, and then I just pass in whatever variables or variable scopes I want to have dumped in the email. The source usually just contains the name of the name of the current template (cfm/cfc) and if applicable, the name of the current method. So the mailDebug() method doesn't "know" who called it, it 'just knows what the source argument is. rick Ben Nadel wrote: > Dammit Tom! That's Brilliant!
