Dynamic array name in cfset

[TechDude]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a cfset statement which will set a dynamically named three dimensional array to a query value. the code I have created is:

to create the arrays
<cfloop index=&quot;z&quot; from=&quot;1&quot; to=&quot;#get_pack_size.recordcount#&quot;>
<cfparam name='#Evaluate(DE(&quot;pack_array_&quot; & z))#' default=&quot;&quot;>
<cfset &quot;#Evaluate(de(&quot;pack_array_&quot; & z))#&quot; = ArrayNew(3)>
</cfloop>

to fill them

<cfloop query=&quot;get_pack_size&quot;>
<cfset i = i + 1 >
<cfset curr_array=Evaluate(de('pack_array_'&i))>
<cfset &quot;#evaluate(curr_array&'['&i&'][1][1]')#&quot; = get_pack_size.pack_size>


I get this error message
&quot;The element at position 1 in dimension 3 of object &quot;pack_array_1&quot; cannot be found. That dimension of the object is empty. Please,
modify the index expression.&quot;

it seems like it's trying to set the value of the array as the dynamic variable name rather than the array

ie (the value of pack_array_1[1][1][1]) = get_pack_size.pack_size
rather than
pack_array_1[1][1][1]= get_pack_size.pack_size

any ideas?

evaluate(&quot;your_var&quot gives you the VALUE of the var, or it seems you're using it to get the NAME of the var (especially in the first part)
