RE: Using CFLoop to Define Variables
Jeanmarie,
Another way is like this:
cfset setVariable(SCx,listElement)
Or for more cfscript purists:
cfscript
loop here... {
setVariable(SCx,listElement);
}
Regarding cfset SC#x# = listEelment : Since this is an 'evaluation',
and I have heard that 'evaluations' cost more performance wise than using a
setVariable() with a concatenated variable name, I prefer to use the first
method I indicated above. However, I can't confirm this performance issue,
although maybe someone else on the list has done some performance testing
with 'evaluations' and can comment on that.

Re: Using CFLoop to Define Variables
design wise, would you be better putting those in an array instead of seperate variables? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310752 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Using CFLoop to Define Variables
From http://www.cfquickdocs.com/?getDoc=SetVariable#SetVariable: Description This function is no longer required in well-formed ColdFusion pages. Well, that's good news. So all it comes down to then is preference. Although I do second Yuliang's comment that using an array might be better design.

cfset variables['SC#x#'] = listElement / will also work.
