RE: [xsl] genarate key using a variable

---

---

You mean the number of columns C1, C2 etc. are not
fixed and they may change over time. But still they
must be in limits. I guess, initially the number of
columns may be 6 or 7. So you can have 6 or 7 xsl:key
definitions in XSLT. When any new column is
introduced, you can add the corresponding xsl:key
definition. 

With this solution, you will need to maintain the
XSLT. But I guess it will solve the problem with
reasonable simplicity..
