RE: Variable Scope

Perhaps you could put together a simple 3-module example that illustrates
the problem.

From what you've shown us, it looks as if the variable should be in scope.
Once we've seen and checked your code, the next question is which processor
you are using.

Subject: [xsl] Variable Scope

Hello,

So far I have not ran into any troubles with variable scope, and I am
refering to globabl variable scope - variables defined within my base
template.  I am having trouble now with a MAX_DATE variable I have
defined.  So, I am wondering about execution plan and where/when
variables are available.  Given the following inclusiong/import plan I
will attempt to describe where it appears that MAX_DATE(s) scope is
out-of-scope.

base_template.xsl
  MAX_DATE is defined (see definition below)

working_template_a.xsl 
  {imports} base_template
  {includes} working_template_b.xsl
  {includes} working_template_c.xsl
  {includes} working_template_d.xsl
  {includes} ... additional working templates ..

MAX_DATE inside of any template definition inside of any included file
above is fine.  MAX_DATE used as part of a variable definition at the
top (outside a template rule) of any of these include files throws the
error:  "The variable or param MAX_DATE is either not defined or it is
out of scope".

Any ideas on this? 


Note:  CreateNewDate template is defined in base_template.xsl
<xsl:variable name="MAX_DATE">
<xsl:call-template name="CreateNewDate">
  <xsl:with-param name="start_year" select="$FISCAL_YEAR" />
  <xsl:with-param name="start_month">06</xsl:with-param>
  <xsl:with-param name="start_day">30</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
