Hello
The following if statement is too long if try it as in the sample bellow.
How could be shorter?
The if - logic to create a for-each loop:
----------------
xsl:if
D4/G100/6id or D4/G100/9id or D4/G100/12id or D4/G100/6id15 or
D4/G100/45id or D4/G100/22id, D4/G100/10id
or D4/G100/19id is 'A' or 'B' or 'C', or 'D' or 'F'
The Sample:
<xsl:if test="D4/G100/6id = 'A' OR test="D4/G100/6id = 'B' OR
test="D4/G100/6id = 'C' OR test="D4/G100/9id = 'A' OR
test="D4/G100/9id = 'B' .....>
<xsl:for-each select=" ......">
...
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
Element names cannot begin with digits, so I'm unclear how you are
going to be testing elements such as <6id>.
But, assuming you had elements D4/G100/X and D4/G100/Y and D4/G100/Z,
you could have in XSLT2 the following:
<xsl:if test="D4/G100/(X,Y,Z) = ('A','B','C')">
... which is equivalent to:
D4/G100/X = 'A' or
D4/G100/X = 'B' or
D4/G100/X = 'C' or
D4/G100/Y = 'A' or
D4/G100/Y = 'B' or
D4/G100/Y = 'C' or
D4/G100/Z = 'A' or
D4/G100/Z = 'B' or
D4/G100/Z = 'C'
When using the "=" comparison operator, either operand can be a
set. The processor walks through the comparisons in an arbitrary
order eventually testing each of the left operand with each of the
right operand and stops when it hits a true() result and returns
true(). If you get a false() returned, you know the processor has
checked every possible combination and every combination has returned false().
I hope this helps.
