Short answer: no.
Mid-length answer:
You've got to think about the CF live cycle. What you see as source
code isn't actually what's finally executed. Before it's executed,
CFML is "compiled" into Java bytecode, and *that* is executed. For
CFML tags to "run", they need to already be there at "compile
time" (as opposed to "run time", which is when your string exists).
This is the same reason why one cannot "build" CFML statements out of
other CFML statements at runtime - which is a question that does the
round on various forums every week or so - and expect the built
statements to somehow run.
Long answer:
The best you can hope for is to write your string to a file, and then
include it. Even with CF's gains in this area over the last few
versions, this is a slow solution, as your runtime file needs to be
compiled (slow) before it's executed.
For your <cfqueryparam> situation, what I've done is to re-implement
<cfquery> as a function, and include in that processing for swapping
out a token (by default, it's {cfqp}) in my SQL string for a
<cfqueryparam> tag, populating it from an array of structs also passed-
in to the function. Someone else had written a far more elegant
solution a while back which DID allow for in-line #cfqueryParam()#
calls in the SQL string, which again was subsequently re-processed as
a <cfqueryparam> tag by the cfquery() function. I've lost his source
code, so am in the process of re-implementing my own. I'm 90% of the
way through it... just waiting for a spare hour to finish it. My
development paused for reflection a bit when I found out that there
are [cough] "things on the horizon" which will make re-implementing CF
tags as functions *much* *much* *much* easier. Once it's released.
