Rick, Short answer: You can't.
Long answer: This was a design flaw that was corrected in ColdFusion 9. In CF9, you can dump #local#, which is the function local var scope. Earlier than that, you best option is to create a struct for your function-local variables, so many people do this: [pseudocode, writeDump and abort are CF9 specific] function foo(arg, etc) { local = structNew(); local.myLocalVariable = 1234; writeDump(local);abort; } Hope that helps. nathan strutz [http://www.dopefly.com/] [http://hi.im/nathanstrutz] On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 9:15 AM, Rick Root <rick.r...@gmail.com> wrote: > > How do you dump the var scope inside a CFC? > > Qualifiers - not on CF9, and not using <cfset var LOCAL = StructNew()> > > I can tell you what DOESN'T work. > > <cfdump var="#variables#"> > <cfdump var="#variables.myFunctionName#"> > > Rick > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339749 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
