Specifications
14  Migrating ColdFusion 5 Applications
IsWDDX()
Changed Returns No for arrays and other complex 
values. ColdFusion 5 returns an error. 
(Both versions accept a basic value, such 
as a string, number, logical value, or date 
and time value. )
See IsWDDX() in 
CFML 
Reference
.
Len()
Changed When calculating a length, a 
string-processing function processes an 
ASCII 0 (NUL) character and continues to 
process subsequent characters of the 
string, if any. In ColdFusion 5, these 
functions did not process any subsequent 
characters of the string after processing 
the ASCII 0 (NUL) character. 
See Len() in 
CFML 
Reference
.
ListSetAt()
Changed No longer changes the first delimiter in the 
list to the first delimiter specified in the 
function.
See ListSetAt() in 
CFML 
Reference
.
ListSort()
Changed In a descending sort with textnocase, 
ListSort() returns elements in a different 
order than in ColdFusion 5.
See “Using ListSort() in 
ColdFusion MX” on page 
30.
LSCurrencyFormat()
Changed Returns a negative number when passed a 
negative number.

currency code, such as AUD for the 
Australian dollar.

as parameters, which include the name of 
the day.
