Structure variable undefined

Question

Hi All,

I have a problem in using structure and am not sure what I am missing here. I get the following error:
Variable STRSUMMARY is undefined : line 8. This is where NOT StructKeyExists(strSummary,theKey)) code starts.

The code is as below:

<script>
strSummary = StructNew();
</script>

<cfloop query="speclist">
<cfscript>
theKey = "#option#_#model#_#mfr#_#qty#";
if (NOT StructKeyExists(strSummary,theKey)){
strSummary[theKey] = StructNew();
strSummary[theKey].option = option;
strSummary[theKey].model = model;
strSummary[theKey].mfr = mfr;
strSummary[theKey].qty = qty;
strSummary[theKey].itemid = itemid;
}
ArrayAppend(strSummary[theKey].itemid,itemid);
</cfscript>
</cfloop>

Thanks

Thanks.. The problem is solved and the code is as below. we can have alpha / numeric as keys

<cfscript>
strSummary = StructNew();
</cfscript>

<cfloop query="speclist">
<cfscript>
theKey = "#option#_#model#_#mfr#_#qty#";
if (NOT StructKeyExists(strSummary,theKey)){
strSummary[theKey] = StructNew();
strSummary[theKey].option = option;
strSummary[theKey].model = model;
strSummary[theKey].mfr = mfr;
strSummary[theKey].qty = qty;
strSummary[theKey].itemid = ArrayNew(1);
}
ArrayAppend(strSummary[theKey].itemid,itemid);
</cfscript>
</cfloop>

I do not see the reason you would get the error you are reporting.

But, is this really the best way to model your data. Looking at your
key structure gave me a headache.

theKey = "#option#_#model#_#mfr#_#qty#";

I can not suggest options without understanding the requirements. But I
really would hate to have to write something like that. Maybe because
I've been fighting with something like this all week.
