I think you are hitting up against the integer datatype trap since you
are using numbers and equals. If you had pure strings it would work.
I think what CF is evaluting the numbers to is
1234567890123456E1 (converting to an exponant)
Try compare instead
comparenocase("1234567890123456","1234567890123457") =
#comparenocase("1234567890123456","1234567890123457")#<br>
comparenocase("12345678901234567","12345678901234568") =
#comparenocase("12345678901234567","12345678901234568")#<br>
comparenocase("1234567890123456a","1234567890123456b") =
#comparenocase("1234567890123456a","1234567890123456b")#<br>
