Thanks Steve, I understand what you're saying, but unless I missed something, my central question is not answered: how do I refer to a thread (from the spawning code) using a scoped variable? The code you refer to uses unscoped variables, which causes scope hunting. Mischa.

OR you want to fork to multiple threads and have them do the batch in multiple threads (possibly shortening your batch by the number of threads you spawn) If you want to find out how long that thread took to process it you can always cflog the results... the CF docs have an example of doing what you want: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_t_04.html On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 5:51 PM, Mischa Uppelschoten <[email protected]> wrote: I think this is more about naming the thread itself than passing values into it.

Based on what you’re posting, I’d say scoping it into variables would solve the problem, yes? Or am I misunderstanding what you’re saying completely?
