In the root template I setup some java extension processes that can only be run once so the second time through they cause the transform to fail. The usual way to solve this problem is with modes.

First I tried adding a xpath specification to the doc function so that the returned XML would start at the element I was interested in, like so: > > <xsl:variable name="myActionSet" > select="doc('file://sashq/root/pub/pubs_xiswork/sascrs/prod/v16/eclipse/works pace/castest/xml/actions.xml')//actionSet[@id=abc]"/> > > but that caused the function to fail and not fetch the second file. I think it did fetch the second file. But the path expression //actionSet didn't select anything, because the actionSet elements are in a namespace, and you didn't tell it to use a namespace. > I also tried a fragment specification #actionSet but this also failed. > > I then tried to kick the second input files root element out of my root template with a test for ancestor-or-self::casActions and a test for descendant-or-self::casActions. But neither of these tests worked on the fetched second file. Again, that's because you overlooked the namespace declaration. > > Any help would be appreciated in solving this problem. > > Note the namespace: xmlns="http://www.sas.com/xml/namespace/sas_doc_cas_actions-1.0" Michael Kay Saxonica > > > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <casActions version="1.0" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.sas.com/xml/namespace/sas_doc_cas_actions-1.0" date="Tue Apr 14 07:31:01 2015" branch="v9cas"> > <actionSet id="cas.tkds1" date="Mon Apr 13 22:18:33 2015" name="tkds1" dvdname="cas" scriptname="tkds1" prmname="tkds1"> > <label id="cas.tkds1.__label" key="TKDS1_LABEL_LIBRARY" dvd="cas" msgfile="tkmds1">DATA Step</label> > <action id="cas.tkds1.execPgm" name="execPgm" entry="execpgm"> > <label id="cas.tkds1.execPgm.__label" key="TKDS1_LABEL_EXECPGM" dvd="cas" msgfile="tkmds1">Execute DATA Step</label> > > > Thanks for the help, > Craig > > BTW I follow this list in the daily digest so I wont see any responses till tomorrow unless you copy me in your response to the list. > My email is: craig.sampson@xxxxxxx > > > XSL-List info and archive > EasyUnsubscribe (by email)
