I would like to construct a key based on a different document, but I saw that is was not going to work. So I'm going explain what I want to do, since now I have no idea how it could be done.
Here are two pieces of the document I'm working on :
...
The whole thing is about selecting the requests of the 2nd document according to their step in the first document. So, usually it was easy since I had a for-each loop for the steps. The "step" level was so preserved. ie, I calculate the sum of request/data/@value in each step. That would be 2394 for step 1 and 1969+5451 for step2.
Now my problem is that I don't have the for-each step loop, but I still have to sum request according to the step they are in.

You don't explain why you don't have the for-each loop ... and you don't explain your rationale for error codes. And you don't indicate if you are using XSLT 1 or XSLT 2. So I'm not sure if I can help.

I don't know if it's clear. I don't even see clearly myself how I could achieve this.

The example below shows the access to two different documents producing a report of the comparison of information. I'm not sure if it will help you or not.

I'm not sure why you weren't using variables in your example, so in the below I have code without and then with variables, and I'm using XSLT 1 assuming you are since you didn't mention XSLT 2.

BTW, you don't have to worry about calling the document() function multiple times because the processor is supposed to fetch the document only once.

I hope this helps.
