...and Dominic wins the prize!! Thanks all for the info. Dominic's collection loop solves the CF variable scope structure key case problem (although a PITA whenn it needs to be done).
Of course since posting I have realized that in most cases I do NOT need to return CF variable scopes via AJAX and will generally return just the retStruct you saw in my example code with simple values and not structures. So in the more widely used case I will have the control over structure key case at the time I create the struct and its keys. So thanks also to those that mentioned array notation as a way to preserve case without the explicit use of lCase(). That said I should say that the key case is already being preserved the long way I wrote my sample code....just FYI ;-) Happy almost US bird day for those below the 49th ;-) Cheers -- Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
