Question

I am trying to loop over some values to insert data into a DB using ColdFusion ORM.

I am having issues getting the syntax right. Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

    <cfscript>

        var tn = 'CompanyName';

        transaction{

            newComp = EntityNew("company");

                newComp.set & tn &('ABC Comp');

            EntitySave(newComp);                                                

        }               

    </cfscript>

For simplicity of this question I am just using a single variable. The actual code loops through an array of data but if I can just figure out how to do it with a variable I can handle the rest.

I have tried a bunch of ways of doing this but I cannot get the syntax right.

Is this possible?

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Try

evaluate( 'newComp.set#tn#( "ABC Comp" )' );
