Well, CF is more or less typeless*, but you can specify the expected data type in your CFARGUMENT tag. If I recall correctly, you're specifying a string when you really expect a number. This will result in your CFC throwing an exception if the data can't be cast as a number. I really don't see why this would make a difference in this case, assuming that you actually are passing a numeric value, but I'd recommend that you explicitly specify the data types you expect your arguments to receive. * This is an oversimplification, but still a useful way to think of CF.
