I agree that writedump really can be problematic when working with ORM objects...but I've not seen that the "top" attribute helps. According to the docs, it sets levels for structures...not objects. And that's been my experience as well, it doesn't do anything for ORM objects if you are trying to dump them without converting to something else first (some of my objects just crash the server if I try to dump them due to this). I think there's a feature request or two to this regard in the CF bug database. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337272 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
