Re: Is there anywhay to work around there not being an IsNull Function
There are a couple of ways to check the status of a structure. isDefined(myStruct) will tell you if the variable has been created isStruct(myStruct) will tell you if the variable is a structure structCount(myStruct) will tell you if the structure has any keys (and how many keys) You can use any combination thereof.

IsStruct() tells if a variable is a struct or not.. You could also cfparam name=struct_name default= Then cfif #IsStruct(struct_name)# cfelse /cfif Dunno if that answers your question or not...

RE: Is there anywhay to work around there not being an IsNull Function
Right, but if it exists and hasn't been initialized what would be the default value? Or are you not allowed to create a variable without set it's value? -Original Message- From: Matthew R.

RE: Is there anywhay to work around there not being an IsNull Function
I thought initialization was the act of creating and assigning a default value for each field within the structure. If you initialize a variable or structure, that means that every field has a value that can be checked. If you just want to see if it exists, then just use isdefined() or parameterexists() or something of that nature. - Matt Small -Original Message- From: Brian Eckerman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 11:26 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Is there anywhay to work around there not being an IsNull Function Right, but if it exists and hasn't been initialized what would be the default value?
