Dear Jamie,
Please try the below code to emulate a 'cfparam' from within a 'cfscript'
block
<!---begin test code---->
<!---
Try the following code with
1. the //myVar =2; line commented out, result should be myVar has a
value of '1'
2. the //myVar =2; line uncommented, result should be myVar has a
value of '2'
--->
<cfscript>
//myVar = 2;
mydefaultValue = 1;
iif(isdefined('myVar'),"de('')","setvariable('myVar',myDefaultValue)");
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>
#myVar#
</cfoutput>
<!---end test code---->
Good luck,
