Scott,
Although it is not well-formed ColdFusion, you could leave off the
<cfargument> tags altogether. They are not required. Then do whatever
logic you want
<cffunction name="myTest">
<cfdump var="#arguments#">
<cfoutput>
#arguments[1]#<br>
#arguments[2]#
</cfoutput>
</cffunction>
<cfset myTest('blah',1)>
You will see a dump of a structure with two keys, and you can access them
like an array.

Subject: cfarguments... determining which argument to use based on passed
variables
Sorry for the cryptic subject
In a function I have three arguments.
<cfargument name ="person_id"/>
<cfargument name = "list"/>
<cfargument name = "dept_no_search"/>
at any given time only one will be populated, based on the existence of
a url variable.
and then
<cfif structKeyExists(Arguments,"arguments.person_id") is "Yes">
run queries based on person_id
</cfif>
<cfif structKeyExists(Arguments,"arguments.list") is "Yes">
run queries based on list
</cfif>
etc...
I know I could break the function up into separate functions, and the
arguments have to be the first items in a function
but is there a simple way to do this..
<cfif IsDefined("url.person_id")>
<cfargument name ="person_id"/>
<cfelse>
</cfif>
