Yes, this is exactly as I said. The 'one' argument is undefined because it has not been passed to the function - that is clear enough. I also said that I wasn't 100% sure why the '1' argument was undefined but that I suspect that ColdFusion knows it is an unnamed argument even though it has assigned it with a number as its key. This may be a bug or intentional behaviour.
A little testing reveals why: <cffunction name="testMe" output="1"> <cfset var args = StructNew()> <cfset var arg = ""> <cfloop collection="#arguments#" item="arg"> <cfset args[arg] = Duplicate(arguments[arg])> </cfloop> <cfdump var="#args#"> <cfset testMe2(argumentCollection = args)> </cffunction> This should product the same results as you are getting now. If you change the name's slightly however, it will work: <cfloop collection="#arguments#" item="arg"> <cfset args['a' & arg] = arguments[arg]> </cfloop> The reason it is failing is that '1' is an invalid named argument name (even though CF assigns it to unnamed variables). Looping through the unnamed arguments and prepending 'a' to them in a new struct and then passing that as the argument collection should solve your problem. You could even make sure you only rename unnamed arguments so: <cffunction name="testMe" output="1"> <cfset var args = StructNew()> <cfset var arg = ""> <cfloop collection="#arguments#" item="arg"> <cfif IsNumeric(arg)> <cfset args['a' & arg] = arguments[arg]> </cfif> </cfloop> <cfdump var="#arguments#"> <cfset testMe2(argumentCollection = args)> </cffunction> You most likely still have a problem though, 'one' is still undefined because no argument named 'one' has been passed to the second function.
