Subject: [xsl] Flat XML to hierarchical output ...
Hi All
I have the following data structure
<REPORT>
<HEADER>
...
</HEADER>
<LINE>
...
</LINE>
<TOTAL>
...
</TOTAL>
<HEADER>
...
</HEADER>
<LINE>
...
</LINE>
<TOTAL>
...
</TOTAL>
<HEADER>
...
</HEADER>
<LINE>
...
</LINE>
<LINE>
...
</LINE>
<LINE>
...
</LINE>
<TOTAL>
...
</TOTAL>
</REPORT>
Although the XML is not hierarchical there is a hierarchy
required in output ie HEADER LINES TOTAL
the only thing that is guaranteed is that the data is in
sequential hierarchy order ie HEADER is followed by LINES by
TOTAL. Notice that there maybe 1 or more instances of LINE
following HEADER ie multi lines for a given header.
I have tried loading the HEADER-LINE-TOTAL trees into
variables, then looping thru the HEADER and grabbing LINE and
TOTAL values based on the HEADER record position(). Of course
a ll is fine until I hit a HEADER with multiple lines.
I'm still trying this but if anyone has come across and
solved a similar problem I'd greatly appreciate any input
Thanks
tim
