<!--- Now that we know that function calls can exist within the nest of ColdFusion 8's new implicit struct creation, we can use the Echo user defined function to really create some intricate structures with minimal effort. We are going to pass the implicit creation go the Echo function and have it just bounce back. ---> <cfset objDate = { Pickup = "7:45 PM", Dinner = "Outback Steak House", Movie = Echo({ Name = "28 Weeks Later", Time = "7:45 PM" }), Dessert = "Cafe Lalo" } /> <!--- Dump out the data to see if it worked. ---> <cfdump var="#objDate#" label="Implicit Struct Creation w/ Echo Test" />
