About a week ago I posted information about a complex XML file I was 
trying to convert to CSV.  I have since come up with the following XML 
stylesheet.
Have some questions about how to tweak this stylesheet.  Had to start at 
the recurring section then move upwards to build the CSV file.

O/S Issues
1)  Extracted all default fields from XML file using my XSLT code below.
2)  How can I put each value-of select on separate lines in my code so is 
easier to read - do not want my data to go to a different line.
3) How do you edit value-of select lines to make a value a date, numeric, 
zero filled. 
4)  How do I sort file after all records get written out to file in XSLT 
code
4)  Have to find a way to derive some of my fields that do not come 
directly from my XML file

        how do I hardcode a value
        how do a pull in a default value into a field such as current date 
in format yyyymmddhhmm or yyyymmdd
        how do I set up a field from different fields (ie. my batch date 
format is as follows YYYYMMDDHHMMXCUR where X is a value from another 
field and CUR is a value from another field 
        how do I look for a partial value in a text field from XML file to 
set up a derived field - need to look for a certain string in 
invoice_number to set up PaymentTerms

Here is my CSV output from XML File (was able to extract all default 
fields)
