Raymond, I use the method that you list below that "doesn't make sense to me."
This is a hold over (for me anyway) of my early programming days. [Remember when BASIC (not visual) was the learning language of choice! ;) ] I was always taught that it was poor programming to break out of code and leave it hanging. That's the same reason (in my opinion) that many programmers hated GOTO.

The only reason to not do this is because it's a waste of time. As soon as the first cfreturn is encountered, the method ends. However, the code I sent in my other message would make sense... in one condition return A, in another condition return B. Some people will do... <cfset returnCode = "a"> <cfif condition> <cfset returnCode = "b"> </cfif> <cfreturn returnCode> But that just doesn't make sense to me. ======================================================================== === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: jon hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 12:15 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: CFRETURN has incorrect documentation > > > multiple cfreturn's?
