RE: setting variables in xslt


what i want to do is: <xsl:when test="$iTimeZoneOffset= 
'-1'">, set $iTimeZoneOffset to be $iCurrentOffset, since the 
operation in the <xsl:when> statement is also been repeated 
in <xsl:otherwise>.


Tell us about the input of your stylesheet and the output you want to
produce.

Don't tell us about the code you want to write, because you can't do it
in the procedural way you are thinking about it.

This will help me optimise my code

what is been repeated is:

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
      <xsl:choose>
                  <xsl:when test="$iHour &lt; $iTimeZoneOffset ">
                          <xsl:value-of select="($iDate - 
1)"/><xsl:value-of select="$iMonthYear"/>, <xsl:value-of 
select="($iHour + 24) - $iTimeZoneOffset"/><xsl:value-of 
select="$iMinutes"/>
                  </xsl:when>
                  <xsl:otherwise>
                          <xsl:value-of 
select="$iDate"/><xsl:value-of select="$iMonthYear"/>,
                          <xsl:choose>
                              <xsl:when test="$iHour &lt; '10'">
                                      0<xsl:value-of 
select="$iHour - $iTimeZoneOffset"/>
                              </xsl:when>
                              <xsl:otherwise>
                                      <xsl:value-of 
select="$iHour - $iTimeZoneOffset"/>
                              </xsl:otherwise>
                          </xsl:choose>
                          <xsl:value-of select="$iMinutes"/>
                  </xsl:otherwise>
              </xsl:choose>
          </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>

the first time using $iCurrentOffset and the second time 
using $iTimeZoneOffset. But with setting $iTimeZoneOffset to 
be $iCurrentOffset, i will only have to write the above code once.

You can't modify variables in XSLT, it is a declarative language.

This is a FAQ, and the answer is always the same: tell us 
what problem you are trying to solve, so we can tell you how 
you should be tackling it.
