Reserved words in ColdFusion 8

ColdFusion 8 has a set of words, called reserved words, that are used by the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML). These words should be avoided when creating variables, user-defined function names and custom tag names. The following are pointers on how to avoid using reserved words:

• Any name starting with cf. However, when you call a CFML custom tag directly, you prefix the custom tag page name with cf_
• Built-in function names, such as Now or Hash
• Scope names, such as Form or Session
• Operators, such as NE or IS
• The names of any built-in data structures, such as Error or File
• The names of any built-in variables, such as RecordCount or CGI variable names
• CFScript language element names such as for, default, or continue

A list of ColdFusion 8 reserved words can be found in Adobes CFML Reference guide.
