Hi, I have returned to some CF development after a long absence, and am retooling a site to use CFCs, and have been a little stumped by a problem I am having.
I have created a Person cfc which, as the name suggests, represents a person. After retrieving info from a db, I loop over the recordset and construct a Person object for each record. Some of the records have a birthdate, which I set using a setBirthDate function. Additionally, there is s getBirthDate function to retrieve the value. This all works fine, until I tried to apply some formatting. More specifically, I tried to use the Year() function, but in all instances the value returned was 1905. I tried applying a DateFormat of mm/dd/yyyy first (which worked) and then using the Year function, but the value was still 1905. I then tried the Right() function, and much to my amazement, the value was still 1905. I am using a cfscript block inside of the getBirthDate method. I then applied the Right function to the actual cfreturn tag (as opposed to in the cfscript block) and it worked. I am confused. So, although I have a workaround, I would like to better understand what is happening. Any info appreciated.
