Usage

Within the cfquery and cfmail tags, this function does not output to the current page; it writes to the current SQL statement or mail text. Do not use WriteOutput within cfquery and cfmail.

Although you can call this function anywhere within a page, it is most useful inside a cfscript block.

Example

...
<cfscript>
  employee = StructNew();
  StructInsert(employee, "firstname", FORM.firstname);
  StructInsert(employee, "lastname", FORM.lastname);
  StructInsert(employee, "email", FORM.email);
  StructInsert(employee, "phone", FORM.phone);
  StructInsert(employee, "department", FORM.department);
  WriteOutput("About to add " & FORM.firstname & " " & FORM.lastname);
</cfscript>
