Hi Jason. I had read the documentation, just didn't realize that the breaks
were so intricate a part of the process.
So, to respond to Jason, as per the other responses, in CFSCRIPT, the case
statements in the SWITCH construct need breaks after each case so the program
doesn't continue to read "the rest" of the case statements. Will check
the brackets though.
Thanks again to everyone else has been so quick to respond and so helpful.

switch(abc) {
case 'r': txt_status='whatever';
}
is the correct format. It should work fine without the extra brackets.
However, I don't know why the brackets would break it. Let us know if it
works.
