[xsl] matching template with arguments.

["Charles Ohana" <charles.ohana@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Friends,
I'm trying to match a template and filter some content according the a 
parameter passed to my xslt.
see the code below. my processor fails when I pass $typ to starts-with 
function .
  <xsl:template match="Product[not(starts-with(@code, $typ))]" />
I'm trying to avoid hardcoding the $typ
Any idea ???

I'm using SAXON 6.5.3




Full xslt code :

<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0' 
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
  <xsl:param name="typ" />
  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
     <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
     </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="Product[not(starts-with(@code, $typ))]" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
