why is it when you use IIF() and you are checking to see if a variable
exists, the process will error out? here is an example:
#IIF(IsDefined(FORM.classCodeID), DE(FORM.classCodeID), DE(ALL))#
if FORM.classCodeID exists, the code works fine. but if FORM.classCodeID
doesn't exist, it errors
AFAIK the IIF tag evaluates both the true and the false sections as the
function is processed... The best thing to do would be cfparam the
variable and check to see if it contains data.
CFPARAM NAME=FORM.classCodeID DEFAULT=
#IIF(Len(FORM.classCodeID), DE(#FORM.classCodeID#), DE(ALL
I ran into this just yesterday.
The issue seems to be that since this is a CF function and not a tag it
processes it inside out. Not the same as a CFIF where it will skip
elements of the if statement should it be false.
The IIF prepares the two DE arguments before it evaluates it's
conditional
Ok, it's not a problem as such, just the way functions work... before IIF
can be run (before any function can be run) all the arguments must be
resolved, the second argument in your example may not be resolved because
FORM.classCodeID may not exist. The correct way to write this...
#IIF

#iif((dateformat(i, mm-dd-yy) eq (dateformat(qrygetusers1.we_date,

point is that
I want to use IIF and DE)
This isn't what you want to hear, but, FWIW I've had exactly the same thing
and ended up using CFIF. Annoying
What you have to do is this:
(assuming you're using variables temp1 and temp2)
IIF(condition, DE(#evaluate('temp1')#), DE(#evaluate('temp2')#))
By using evaluate, it doesn't try to pass the undefined variable in as a
parameter to the function, but when it hits the DE(), it does an evaluate
Not exactly. IIF() creates an IF/ELSE scenario which, technically speaking,
could be considered two statements even though only one of them actually has
a condition defined.
Fact of the matter is, this comes down to what's called short circuit
logic. In most languages in any if/else pair, once
have the
option of compiling ColdFusion (as far as I know, anyway) to rid yourself of
errors like this, you hit the problem at run-time. IIF does in fact short
circuit like it's supposed to.

Cameron, it's well known that IIF is much slower. As far as I know, the

The only advantage would be if you, as a coder, prefer the IIF() format over
the CFIFCFELSE... format. Where performance is an issue, stay away from
the use of ColdFusion's dynamic functions such as IIF() as performance will
definitely suffer.

choose between 3 different expressions?
What I have is a variable that has 3
Shouldn't these do the same thing (IIF more effeciently)...IIF is bombing
I have tried it w/ and w/o the delayed eval DE()...
#IIF(Len(conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits),
conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits, DE(''))#
cfif
len(conv_data.BankingSpecificRating
OK OK found it..needed a NULL
#IIF(Len(conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits),
conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits, DE('NULL'))#

Actually..
#IIF(Len(conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits),
DE(conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits), DE("''"))#
Or something like that. ;)
Really cfif is alot better.

No. cfif is more efficient, and you need the DE()'s to produce reasonable
results for anything.
#IIF(Len(conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits),
DE(conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits), DE(''))#
I think that's right. But then I've been up since this time yesterday. But I
know that cfif
Try
#IIF(Len(conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits),
'conv_data.BankingSpecificLoansDeposits', DE(''))#
(single quotes around "true" epression)

IIF is less efficient than CFIF. Look here for a good rundown
(http://www.fusionauthority.com/iif.htm).

add 'FROM dual' at the end:
Access should work as SQL server but I have not tried months ago.

Subject: access iif count
Hi folks,
I'm trying to use
For Access try SUM instead of COUNT
cfquery name="countyesnos" datasource="#dsn#"
SELECT SUM(IIF(success = 1, 1, 0)) AS successyes,
SUM(IIF(success = 0, 1, 0)) AS successno
FROM survey
/cfquery

Hi folks,
I'm trying to use IIF in a query to count a bunch of yes/no values. Here's
what I'm trying that doesn't work (both count the total rows):
cfquery name="countyesnos" datasource="#dsn#"
SELECT COUNT(IIF (success = 1, 1, 0)) as successyes,
COUNT(iif (success = 0,
101 - 200 of 226 matches
