Subject: [xsl] Displaying Descriptions Based on Codes

The XML that I get back after posting to a vendor contains data for a set of transactions. I am displaying each transaction as a row in a table. One of the columns needs to show the Transaction Description. This value is not part of the XML data returned. Instead, for each transaction, a code (Nm=CODE") is returned. The numeric value for the tag is the code, and is associated to a description. Right now we have a spreadsheet of what all the codes and there corresponding descriptions are.

How do I display the description for each transaction using XSL when the xml contains only the code?

Here is an example of what the XML I get back looks like:

<Result>
<TransSet>
<Transaction Index="1">
<Tg Nm="INTEREST_RT">7.345</Tg>
<Tg Nm="PRINCIPAL">100000.00</Tg>
<Tg Nm="BALANCE">20000.00</Tg>
<Tg Nm="CODE">13</Tg>
</Transaction>
<Transaction Index="2">
<Tg Nm="INTEREST_RT">7.045</Tg>
<Tg Nm="PRINCIPAL">200000.00</Tg>
<Tg Nm="BALANCE">70000.00</Tg>
<Tg Nm="CODE">45</Tg>
</Transaction>
<Transaction Index="3">
<Tg Nm="INTEREST_RT">6.945</Tg>
<Tg Nm="PRINCIPAL">150000.00</Tg>
<Tg Nm="BALANCE">10000.00</Tg>
<Tg Nm="CODE">17</Tg>
</Transaction>
...
</TransSet>
</Result>


Below is an example of the Codes and their Descriptions:


Code - Description

1 - Escrow Advance
2 - Escrow Deposit
...
13 - Fee Transaction
...
17 - Payment
...
45 - Adjustment


Thanks, Katie
