Re: Dumping VAR Scope?
perhaps just to debug this particular issue, you could install the trial version of cf9 so that you can cfdump the local scope.

My coworker (who actually wanted to know) ended up re-writing the function and local scoping all the variables :) I will try that other potential method when I get a chance though... The re-write is probably for the best. The undocumented stuff is only good for debugging, and I believe they removed it anyway in CF9. -Leigh ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339800 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Dumping VAR Scope?
You can't. This one reason why, prior to CF9, I always did var local = {};
at the top of my functions, and placed all function-local vars into that
struct.

Definately a best practice for earlier versions... I've been doing that
myself for a year or so.. but I've been at this job since 2002, so there's
some code that doesn't do it ;)

Re: Dumping VAR Scope?
Based on the other responses, dumping the var scope in CF8 is not possible. Rick Check Ben Nadel's blog. I thought there was an undocumented function that provided access to the var (ie thread local scope) through getPageContext() in CF8 (only). -Leigh ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339775 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Dumping VAR Scope?
Rick,
Short answer: You can't.
Long answer: This was a design flaw that was corrected in ColdFusion 9. In
CF9, you can dump #local#, which is the function local var scope. Earlier
than that, you best option is to create a struct for your function-local
variables, so many people do this:
[pseudocode, writeDump and abort are CF9 specific]
function foo(arg, etc) {
local = structNew();
local.myLocalVariable = 1234;
writeDump(local);abort;
}
Hope that helps.
