CF doesn't deal with variables in this way. If you do <CFSET a =
DateFormat(now(),"dd")> then a is neither a string, number or date. CF
decides what type the variable is once you combine it with an operand For
example if you tried to do a mathematical function on it (say add it to
another number) then this would be fine. If you tried to concatenate it to
a string then this would also be ok.
