Hi,
The following should work for you:
<xsl:param name="fileExtn">
<xsl:value-of select="/CONTROL/ObjectFormat[1]/@FileExtension"/>
</xsl:param>
You can then use the param $fileExtn anywhere you want.
Params are like variables. Only variables are more like constants(:->)
Regards,
Omprakash.V

Obrigado António.
Something I've learn from you response: I have to define my variable in /
and not in template.
If someone can post here examples of use of variable defined as global,
assign in one template and used in another, that will be nice.

Ora viva, é sempre bom encontrar um compatriota :)
I'm not one of the lists experts, there are many people here who
really excels in this area, making this one of the most useful lists
i've seen. But i can point some obvious things.
First, there are no "tags" in XSL, XSL works on "nodes" not on "tags".
So you work by selecting nodes, apllying temnplates on then, etc...
Second your var
<xsl:template match="ObjectFormat">
<xsl:variable name="FileExtention"><xsl:value-of
select="@FileExtention"/></xsl:variable>
</xsl:template>
exist only inside the template where you define it, so you can't use
it anywhere else. You'll have to define it at the root level you want
it to be global. But it's not clear what you're trying to do, you
should post more info, along with examples of your XML . That template
like it is does nothing...
Fica bem...

Hello
I'm new at this List and new in XSL and I have many problems
understanding how
to do something.
I have a XML that I want to transform to in a CSV text file to import to
Excel. Until
now I have the text file like I want with the char set that I want but
there is
something that I want and I don't know how.
In my XML I have a CONTROL tag with some information that I will use in
the other
tags. Some of the tags in CONTROL tag will concatenate with some tags
along the rest
the XML.
I have to get some data from the CONTROL tag and save it in a variable
and use to
concatenate with fields is another tag.
How can I do that? I was trying to do like this.
<xsl:template match="CONTROL">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ObjectFormat">
<xsl:variable name="FileExtention"><xsl:value-of
select="@FileExtention"/></xsl:variable>
</xsl:template>
The FileExtention is an Attribute of Object Format tag in CONTROL.
<xsl:template match="ObjectIndex">
<xsl:value-of select="@Code"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@Description"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="$FileExtention" /><xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
With this XSL I get an error:
Invalid variable referenceError in XPath expression. Invalid variable
reference
How can I use this variable?
Tkx in advance
