Hi

This is my dummy data...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Root>

    <row>

        <company>Tree House Int.</company>

        <account_num>2823994756</account_num>

        <representative>Bob Schafer</representative>

        <type>supplier</type>

    </row>

    <row>

        <company>Whatola</company>

        <account_num>567123456</account_num>

        <representative>Jane Adamms</representative>

        <type>manufacturer</type>

    </row>

    <row>

        <company>LKJ Industrial</company>

        <account_num>298347987</account_num>

        <representative>Tyler Warrent</representative>

        <type>recycler</type>

    </row>

    <row>

        <company>D+J Watson Ent.</company>

        <account_num>456734</account_num>

        <representative>Janet Lerpray</representative>

        <type>supplier</type>

    </row>

    <row>

        <company>Whatola</company>

        <account_num>1111114</account_num>

        <representative>Elouise Peabody</representative>

        <type>manufacturer</type>

    </row>

</Root>

This is my .xsl

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0"> 

    <xsl:output method="text"/>

    <xsl:template match="/"> 

        <xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(//company)">        

            <xsl:variable name="cmpname" select="." />

            <xsl:value-of select="$cmpname" /> 

            <xsl:result-document href="{$cmpname}">



            </xsl:result-document>

        </xsl:for-each>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

My question:
I want to get the values of the <account_num> and <representative> nodes for each company, into the generated files. Using distinct-values, i can get the xsl to create a file for each company.. but if i try something like this..

Code: Select all

      <xsl:result-document href="{$cmpname}">

               <xsl:value-of select="../representative"/>

            </xsl:result-document>

I get the following error.
F [Saxon-B 9.0.0.6] Axis step child::element(account_num, xs:anyType) cannot be used here: the context item is an atomic value

Any ideas how i can get actual node information instead of atomic values in this context? (i am a noob so that may not sound right).

Something like below:

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">

    <xsl:output method="text"/>

    <xsl:template match="/">

      <xsl:variable name="document" select="."/>

        <xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(//company)">       

            <xsl:variable name="cmpname" select="." />

            <xsl:value-of select="$cmpname" />

            <xsl:result-document href="{$cmpname}">

              <xsl:value-of select="$document//representative[../company=$cmpname]" separator=","/>

            </xsl:result-document>

        </xsl:for-each>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
