error ’Error Resolving Parameter’ if there is an undefined variable in
string_expression1.
For example, “LocalVar” is undefined, however, the following logic functions as you
would expect if you do not use pound signs around “LocalVal”:
<CFOUTPUT>
#IIf(IsDefined(“LocalVar”), “LocalVar”, DE(“The variable is not
defined.”))#
</CFOUTPUT>
The output is:
The variable is not defined.
Whereas, the pound signs around “LocalVar” in the following code cause it to fail with
the error message 'Error Resolving Parameter', because ColdFusion never has a chance
to evaluate the original condition
IsDefined(“LocalVar”)
.
<CFOUTPUT>
#IIf(IsDefined(“LocalVar”), DE(“#LocalVar#”), DE(“The variable is not
defined.”))#
</CFOUTPUT>
The error message would be:
Error resolving parameter
LOCALVAR
The DE function has no impact on the evaluation of LocalVal, since the pound signs
cause it to be evaluated immediately.

<P>IIf evaluates a condition, then performs an Evaluate on
string expression 1 or string expression 2 depending on the
Boolean outcome <I>(TRUE = run expression 1; FALSE = run
expression 2)</I>.
