If I understand the question at hand the proper syntax should be:
<cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" output="NewDataPacket"
input="#application.um.[UmID & "_Data"]#">
This will execute faster than the equivalent code using evaluate.
Remeber that, with structures, the [] can contain any valid expression that
evaluates to a string.
BTW in arrays it's any valid expression that evaluates to an integer.
