I am having a heck of a time trying to figure this out. I'm trying to replace this evaluate function.

<cfoutput>
 #evaluate('#qry#.#editVal#')#
</cfoutput>

But I just can't seem to work it out. Both qry and editVal are in the variables scope and when using evaluate it returns a value for instane the value of

#qryVitals.PULSE#

I just can't seem to get the notation right to interpret it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#evaluate('#qry#.#editVal#')# is equivalent to #VARIABLES[qry][editVal]#.

As noted by @Leigh, if VARIABLES[qry] is of type query, you have to specify the row number as well, e.g. #VARIABLES[qry][editVal][1]#.

    Do not forget the row number. – Leigh Jun 07 '17 at 18:42
  • Excellent! thank you so much :) I am not sure why I couldn't figure that one out. – Steven Pennington Jun 07 '17 at 18:51
