Xslty mapping

[Former Member]

Hi all,

can we increment a variable in the xsl mapping program each time it is executed?

Hi Archana,

Every Interface run in XI is going to be independent of the other. So you cannot have any such global variable unfortunately.

So, one option would be to have an entry in an ABAP table, and then use an RFC make an RFC call to increment the table value and so on.

Hi Archana,

yes you can do that. With a recursiv template, for example: [code]

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:call-template name="zaehler">

<xsl:with-param name="i" select="1"/>

<xsl:with-param name="imax" select="5"/>

</xsl:call-template>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="zaehler">

<xsl:param name="i"/>

<xsl:param name="imax"/>

<xsl:value-of select="$i"/><br />

<xsl:if test="$i &lt; $imax">

<xsl:call-template name="zaehler">

<xsl:with-param name="i" select="$i+1"/>

<xsl:with-param name="imax" select="$imax"/>

</xsl:call-template>

</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>[/code]
