Wendell's correct. Dick, the obvious confusion here is that by "fixed
literal", you simply mean "string". An alternate approach (one I find myself
using often these days) is to bypass the select="'...'" attribute entirely,
and simply use the contents of the <xsl:with-param> as the string-value:

>      <!-- for all audits -->
>      <xsl:call-template name="one-row">
>          <xsl:with-param name="AuditN">TOTAL</xsl:with-param>
>          <xsl:with-param name="findings"
select="/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row"/>
>          </xsl:call-template>

Dick,

If everything else is correct, you are almost there.

At 11:56 AM 3/10/2009, you wrote:

select="/dsQueryResponse/Rows/Row"/>
>          </xsl:call-template>

Assuming $AuditN at the receiving end can be a string, I think you want

<xsl:with-param name="AuditN" select="'TOTAL'"/>

In XPath "TOTAL" (note no extra quotes) is short for "child::TOTAL",
which returns a set of nodes (which is probably empty), while
"'TOTAL'" is a string whose value is "TOTAL".

Cheers,
Wendell
