In ASP we use >

On Error Resume Next>

What is the replacement statement in Coldfusion>

<cftry>> -------------------­--------> <cfcatch type="exception">>

</cfcatch>>

</cftry>>

I mean i have to cut/paste codes in both blocks, cftry and cfcatch?> So, if error comes it will still run the codes in cfcatch block. >

What is the right way to do that?

There is no exact equivalent to "On Error Resume Next" in CFML. I would>argue that this is a good thing - I think that "On Error Resume Next" is>terrible!>

Instead, we have exception handling. For any block of code that you expect>might fail, you can use CFTRY/CFCATCH to build an exception handler. In>addition to being able to continue running code, you can actually respond to>the specific problem encountered.>

In your case, if you simply want to continue running code, you could do>this:>

<cftry>>

... problematic code goes here ...>

<cfcatch type="any">><!--- do nothing --->></cfcatch>>

</cftry>>
