Default XSL help

XSLT: Version 1.0
Processor: Xalan-C_1_8_0-windows_2000-msvc_60 /xerces-c_2_5_0-windows_nt-msvc_60
Platform: Windows XP

Please note i have not posted any xml or xsl or output here.

Its possible to define the xsl as below algorithm

[u]Initialising: </u>$periods = null; $pp=null; $cc=null; $other=null
[u]In XSL i can able to write it as ?</u>
<xsl:variable name="periods" select="null"/>
<xsl:variable name="pp" select="null"/>
<xsl:variable name="cc" select="null"/>
<xsl:variable name="other" select="null"/>


[u]Algorithm:</u>
     if $cc is null and $creditPeriods.hasNext() then $cc = nextConsecutivePeriod ($creditPeriods)
     //
     if $pp is null and $pastPeriods.hasNext() then $pp = nextConsecutivePeriod ($pastPeriods)
     // If $cc and $pp exist, merge them
     if $pp is not null and $cc is not null then
         ($pp, $cc, $other) = mergePeriods ($pp, $cc)
         if $other is not null then $periods.add ($other)
     // If only $pp, add directly to periods
     else if $pp is not null then
         $periods.add($pp)
         $pp = null
     // If only $cc, add to $periods
     else if $cc is not null then
         $periods.add($cc)
         $cc = null
     // Otherwise, nothing left then end
     else
         break
     fi
end while
// Add advanced charge periods
while $advancedPeriods.hasNext()
     $aa = nextConsecutivePeriod($advancedPeriods)
    $periods.add(aa)

[u]In XSL i can able to write it as ?</u>

<xsl:if test="$cc='null' and $pastPeriods.hasNext()">
</xsl:if>
I dont know how to handle $pastPeriods.hasNext() in XSL. Since i am using the xalan extension function which the pastPeriods is an xsl variable contains the xml tree structure such as

<AccessFeesGroupList>
     <AccessFeesGroup>
         <Period dateFrom='<>' dateTo='<>' discountValue='<>' invoiceLineValue='<>' vatValue='<>' />"
     </AccessFeesGroup>
</AccessFeesGroupList>

Please ignote that i have not posted the input xml and the expected output.

You've been posting to this forum long enough now you should really know the answer to this one yourself (in fact I suspect you do).

You cannot write code in XSLT in the way you are hoping for - variables cannot be updated once they have been created (i.e. $x = $x + 1 is invalid).

Rahter than post psuedo-code for what you want to do why not try (do we have to mention this again!) posting your input XML, and what you want your output XML to look like, and what you have tried so far and we MAY be able to help you.

It's very hard to reverse-engineer from a procedural algorithm that solves a problem to a declarative description of the problem, and I would really advise against trying to work that way. Please describe the problem, not your procedural approach to solving it.

Yes I agreed.

I need to find the label from Input.xml by mapping the RateplanUsageList/RateplanUsage/tm=$RateplanId

1) If my $RateplanId is 'TEST' which is not in the Input.xml file, the output is 'Gebruikskosten buiten bundel' is correct as expected
2) If my $RateplanId is 'TZAOP',
    Actual output: Gebruikskosten buiten bundel ( Is not as expected )
    Expected output: Gebruikskosten


[u]File.xsl</u>

<xsl:apply-templates select="document($root/Envelope/Part/@File)/Configuration/RateplanUsageList" mode="Discount_label">
    <xsl:with-param name="RateplanId"><xsl:value-of select="AggSet/Att[@Ty='TM']/@Id"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>

<xsl:template match="/Configuration/RateplanUsageList" mode="Discount_label"> <xsl:param name="RateplanId"/>
     <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="RateplanUsage/tm=$RateplanId">
         <xsl:value-of select="RateplanUsage[@Id=???]/@label"/>
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>
             <xsl:value-of select="RateplanUsage[@id='0']/@label"/> otherwise
         </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>



[u]Input.xml</u>

<RateplanUsageList>
    <RateplanUsage id="0" label="Gebruikskosten buiten bundel" discountLabel="Korting gebruikskosten">
    
    </RateplanUsage>
    <RateplanUsage id="1" label="Gebruikskosten" discountLabel="Korting gebruikskosten">
     <tm>TZAOP</tm>
     <tm>AOP</tm>
    </RateplanUsage>
</RateplanUsageList>

<xsl:value-of select="RateplanUsage[tm=$RateplanId]/@label"/>

You really should get a good XSLT book - it would probably be quicker in the long run as you appear to be doing quite a lot of work with XSLT and needing to ask a lot of questions.
