Set to Yes to specify that values in struct2 overwrite corresponding values in struct1. The default is Yes.

Parameter	Description

struct2	The structure containing the data appended to `struct1`.
overwriteFlag	Set to Yes to specify that values in `struct2` overwrite corresponding values in `struct1`. The default is Yes.

<body>

<!---- Create a Name structure --->

<CFSET nameCLK=StructNew()>

<CFSET nameCLK.first="Chris">

<CFSET nameCLK.middle="Lloyd">

<CFSET nameCLK.last="Gilson">

<!--- Create an address struct --->

<CFSET addrCLK=StructNew()>

<CFSET addrCLK.street="17 Gigantic Rd">

<CFSET addrCLK.city="Watertown">

<CFSET addrCLK.state="MA">

<CFSET addrCLK.zip="02472">

<!---- Create a Person structure --->

<CFSET personCLK=StructNew()>

<CFSET personCLK.name=#nameCLK#>

<CFSET personCLK.addr=#addrCLK#>

<!--- Display the contents of the person struct before the Append --->

<p>

The person struct <b>before</b> the Append call:<br>

<cfloop collection=#personCLK# item="myItem">

<cfoutput>

#myItem#<br>

</cfoutput>

</cfloop>

<!--- Merge the Name struct into the top-level person struct --->

<CFSET bSuccess = StructAppend( personCLK, addrCLK )>



<!--- Display the contents of the person struct, after the Append --->

<p>

The person struct <b>after</b> the Append call:<br>

<cfloop collection=#personCLK# item="myItem">

<cfoutput>

#myItem#<br>

</cfoutput>
