Set an application variable in the onApplicationStart method.

SO something like this
<cffunction name="onRequestStart" returntype="boolean" output="yes">
<CFSET request.dataSource = "enroll">
<cfreturn true>
</cffunction>

Then how do I use it on the other pages?

OnRequestStart is invoked at the start of every request. So it would be
invoked at least once per page, thus setting that variable for you.
