This tag is unsupported in CFFiddle.
Description
Defines stored procedure parameters. This tag is nested within a cfstoredproc tag.
Category
Syntax
<cfprocparam CFSQLType = "parameter data type" maxLength = "length" null = "yes|no" scale = "decimal places" type = "in|out|inout" value = "parameter value" variable = "variable name" dbvarname = "proc parameter name">
You can specify this tag's attributes in an attributeCollection attribute whose value is a structure. Specify the structure name in the attributeCollection attribute and use the tag's attribute names as structure keys.

History
ColdFusion 11 Update 3: Restored the previously ignored dbvarname attribute.
ColdFusion MX:
- The maxrows attribute is obsolete.
- Changed the dbvarname attribute behavior: it is now ignored for all drivers. ColdFusion uses JDBC 2.2 and does not support named parameters. This is deprecated.
- Changed the maxLength attribute behavior: it now applies to IN and INOUT parameter values.
Attributes

Req/Opt |
Default |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
CFSQLType |
Required |
|
SQL type to which the parameter (any type) is bound. ColdFusion supports the following values, where the last element of the name corresponds to the SQL data type. Different database systems might support different subsets of this list. For information on supported parameter types, see your DBMS documentation.
|
maxLength |
Optional |
0 |
Maximum length of a string or character IN or INOUT value attribute. A maxLength of 0 allows any length. The maxLength attribute is not required when specifying type=out. |
null |
Optional |
no |
Whether the parameter is passed in as a null value. Not used with OUT type parameters.
|
scale |
Optional |
0 |
Number of decimal places in numeric parameter. A scale of 0 limits the value to an integer. |
type |
Optional |
in |
|
value |
Required if type = "IN" |
|
Value that ColdFusion passes to the stored procedure. This is optional for inout parameters. |
variable |
Required if type = "OUT" or "INOUT" |
|
ColdFusion variable name; references the value that the output parameter has after the stored procedure is called. This is ignored for in parameters. |
| dbVarName | Optional | When sending the named parameters to a stored procedure, this attribute can be used to specify the name of the parameter. If used, this attribute be present with each cfprocparam tag of the stored procedure. In ColdFusion 11, the JVM flag ( -Dcoldfusion.ignoredbvarname=true) can be used to disable this attribute. However, in ColdFusion (2016 release), this JVM flag is not supported. NOTE: Databases need a variable prefix for named parameters.

Usage
Use this tag to identify stored procedure parameters and their data types. Code one cfprocparam tag for each parameter. The parameters that you code vary based on parameter type and DBMS. ColdFusion supports positional parameters. If you use positional parameters, you must code cfprocparam tags in the same order as the associated parameters in the stored procedure definition.Output variables are stored in the ColdFusion variable specified by the variable attribute.
You cannot use the cfprocparam tag for Oracle 8 and 9 reference cursors. Instead, use the cfprocresult tag.
Example
The following examples list the equivalent Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server stored procedures that insert data into the database. The CFML to invoke either stored procedure is the same.
The following example shows the Oracle stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Insert_Book ( arg_Title Books.Title%type, arg_Price Books.Price%type, arg_PublishDate Books.PublishDate%type, arg_BookID OUT Books.BookID%type) AS num_BookID NUMBER; BEGIN SELECT seq_Books.NEXTVAL INTO num_BookID FROM DUAL; INSERT INTO Books ( BookID, Title, Price, PublishDate ) VALUES ( num_BookID, arg_Title, arg_Price, arg_PublishDate ); arg_BookID := num_BookID; END; /
The following example shows the SQL Server stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE Insert_Book ( @arg_Title VARCHAR(255), @arg_Price SMALLMONEY, @arg_PublishDate DATETIME, @arg_BookID INT OUT) AS BEGIN INSERT INTO Books ( Title, Price, PublishDate ) VALUES ( @arg_Title, @arg_Price, @arg_PublishDate ); SELECT @arg_BookID = @@IDENTITY; END;
You use the following CFML code to call either stored procedure:
<cfset ds = "sqltst">
<!--- <cfset ds = "oratst"> --->
<!--- If submitting a new book, insert the record and display confirmation --->
<cfif isDefined("form.title")>
<cfstoredproc procedure="Insert_Book" datasource="#ds#">
<cfprocparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.title#">
<cfprocparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" value="#form.price#">
<cfprocparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#form.price#">
<cfprocparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" type="out" variable="bookId">
</cfstoredproc>
<cfoutput>
<h3>'#form.title#' inserted into database. The ID is #bookId#.</h3>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
<cfform action="#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#" method="post">
<h3>Insert a new book</h3>
Title:
<cfinput type="text" size="20" required="yes" name="title"/>
<br/>
Price:
<cfinput type="text" size="20" required="yes" name="price" validate="float"/>
<br/>
Publish Date:
<cfinput type="text" size="5" required="yes" name="publishDate" validate="date"/>
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Insert Book"/>
</cfform>
Another example:
<cfstoredproc procedure = "foo_proc" dataSource = "MY_SYBASE_TEST" username = "sa" password = "" dbServer = "scup" dbName = "pubs2" returnCode = "Yes" debug = "Yes"> <cfprocresult name = RS1> <cfprocresult name = RS3 resultSet = 3> <cfprocparam type = "IN" CFSQLType = CF_SQL_INTEGER value = "1" dbVarName = @param1> <cfprocparam type = "OUT" CFSQLType = CF_SQL_DATE variable = FOO dbVarName = @param2> </cfstoredproc>
