G'day Wouldn't be most appropriate behaviour be to do whatever CF does in the same situation? Shouldn't that be the answer to all questions like this, most sensibly?

That could then be documented and the problem would be a whole lot easier for everyone to deal with. my 2c Spike -------------------------------------------- Stephen Milligan Code poet for hire http://www.spike.org.uk Do you cfeclipse? http://cfeclipse.tigris.org >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vince Bonfanti >Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 2:13 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: [CFCDev] CFEXIT or CFABORT within CFFUNCTION > >So what's the "current template" when you're executing within a CFC >function? > >Actually, this is a trick question, since I know the answer. >On CFMX, doing >CFEXIT METHOD="exittemplate" within a CFC function has the >same effect as >CFRETURN without a return variable.
