I'm jumping in late on this one, but I wanted to throw in my two cents.
Structures (and arrays) are *so* much easier in <cfscript>, it's not even funny.
<cfset payment = structNew()>
<cfloop query="queryName">
<cfscript>
if (NOT structKeyExists(payment, "pkWebUser") {
payment[pkWebUser] = structNew();
}
</cfscript>
</cfloop>
Throwing in the if statement prevents the structure from being overwritten if there
are duplicate records in the query. This way you can make nested structures much
easier.
(In case nobody else pointed it out, you don't need the dot when using the array
notation.)
