Re: [xsl] Grouping using concatenated key

[jmcreynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

David,
Thanks again for your help.  It does help if the person seeking help
follows the rules, no? :)  Sorry for not adhering to the guidelines of the
group...

Here is the abbreviated XML representation that I am working with:

<NewDataset>
  <BillDetail>
    <OBLIGATION_ID>2750</OBLIGATION_ID>
    <PHONE_NUMBER>1234567890</PHONE_NUMBER>
  </BillDetail>
  <BillDetail>
    <OBLIGATION_ID>2750</OBLIGATION_ID>
    <PHONE_NUMBER>9876543210</PHONE_NUMBER>
  </BillDetail>
  <BillDetail>
    <OBLIGATION_ID>3940</OBLIGATION_ID>
    <PHONE_NUMBER>1234567890</PHONE_NUMBER>
  </BillDetail>
</NewDataset>

Does this clarify things?

Many thanks (yet again!),

JOHN
