Makes sense though, as an array is basically a structure. And structures
are passed by reference.
Btw, Just wanted to add my two cents and say thanks for the list. Great
resource.

I was wrong in saying that an array was passed by reference. I just tested
it out and it is passed by value. I was assuming based on the normal array
function results that it would be. I hate when things are not 'standard'.
Causes an error
<CFSCRIPT>
function test(aVar)
{
aVar[1] = "name";
}
aVar=ArrayNew(1);
test(aVar);
WriteOutPut(aVar[1]);
</CFSCRIPT>
works
<CFSCRIPT>
function test(aVar)
{
aVar[1] = "name";
return aVar;
}
aVar=ArrayNew(1);
aVar=test(aVar);
WriteOutPut(aVar[1]);
</CFSCRIPT>
