RE: [xsl] Decimal precision

["Jim Neff" <jneff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The error I am getting from Saxon is:


Error at xsl:choose on line 307 of file:/C:/Jim/xml/UHCML/format2.xsl:
  Static error in XPath expression supplied to saxon:evaluate: XPath syntax
error at char 9
  in {sum(for $1 in}:
    expected "<name>", found "<numeric-literal>" Transformation failed:
Run-time errors were reported Process c:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin\java exited with
code 2

Here is the complete code from the aforementioned "choose" statement:


<xsl:choose>
				
	<xsl:when test="current()/evaluate = 'Y'">
					
	  <xsl:call-template name='pad_Field'>
						
	  <xsl:with-param name='justify'
select='current()/justification'/>
	  <xsl:with-param name='trunc'	select='"Y"'/> 
	  <xsl:with-param name='max' 	select='current()/length'/>
	  <xsl:with-param name='char' 	select='current()/data_type'/> 
	  <xsl:with-param name='value'
select='saxon:evaluate(current()/content, $current_context)'/>
					
	  </xsl:call-template>
									
	</xsl:when>

	...

</xsl:choose>


Thanks,
Jim Neff
