            <cfdirectory action="list" recurse="yes"
directory="#APPLICATION.storePath##APPLICATION.systemInfo.fld_officeCode#/#argum
ents.fileNum#" name="ListDir" />
                <cfquery name="DirQry" dbtype="query">
                select * from ListDir
                where Type = 'Dir'
                </cfquery>
                <cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes">
                <cfcontent type="text/xml; charset=utf-16">
                <cfxml variable="xmlobject">
                <cfoutput>
                        <fileNum label="L060001">
                            <cfloop query="DirQry">
                                <directory label="#DirQry.name#">
                                <cfquery name="fileQry" dbtype="query">
                                select * from ListDir
                                where Type = 'File' and directory =
'#APPLICATION.storePath##APPLICATION.systemInfo.fld_officeCode#/#arguments.fileN

                </cfoutput>
                </cfxml>
                <cfset myvar=toString(xmlobject)>
                <cfset mynewvar=replace(myvar, "UTF-8", "utf-16")>
