    As far as I'm aware, you can't embed # tags within a variable name. For instance #list_#line_id#_value# will try to evaluate 'list_' and '_value' instead of 'line_id' and then its result. It's bad practice anyways.
    Instead, use arrays:

    Initializing:
    <cfset Quote=ArrayNew(1)>
    <cfset Quote[1]=...>
    <cfset Quote[2]=...>
    <!--- Note: CF arrays start at index 1, not 0 --->

    For your code:
    <cfif isDefined("Quote[#line_id#]")>
    <cfset output=Quote[#line_id#]>
    <cfelse>
    <cfset output="No Quote">
    </cfif>
    #output#
