Thanks, Adrian, for your input.
For the heck of it, I tried the following (which seems logical), however, it
won't work for cf8 does not seem to support onVariablesStart function...
<cffunction name="onVariablesStart" returnType="string">
<cfset variables.meatDS = "goMeatDB">
<cfset variables.nutsDS = "goNutsDB">
...
</cffunction>
Using the following approach:
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart" returnType="string">
<cfset Application.meatDS = "goMeatDB">
<cfset Application.nutsDS = "goNutsDB">
...
</cffunction>
would require lots of code change from the affected templates as I described in
my OP...
I guess with cf8, it simply does not support Variables Scop at global level.
True or False?
