XSLT mapping <xsl:param name=" " select="/.." />

[Former Member]

Hi,

I  have Xslt mapping and it generates IDoc from source file; and in XSLT i have below piece of code:

- <XBLNR>

<xsl:value-of select="concat(concat(concat(concat(concat(substring($TimeSent, 1, 4), substring($TimeSent, 6, 2)), substring($TimeSent, 9, 2)), substring($TimeSent, 12, 2)), substring($TimeSent, 15, 2)), substring($TimeSent, 18, 2))" />

</XBLNR>

The Timesent is a parameter and is defined as <xsl:param name="TimeSent" select="/.." />

but the IDoc is not getting this vlue in XBLNR.  and what does select="/.."   means?

can you please help me in this.

Thanks.

Hi Prema,

test your mappig (best external i a xml spy) and add a line

<debug><xsl:value-of select="$TimeSent"/></debug>

to see which value the parameter has. May be the xpath to source field gives nothing, or the string is too short for your substring operations. It makes sense, to asure the length of the string with an choose around: xsl:when test="string-length($TimeSent &gt; 19) - react in the otherwise branch to the situation the string is too short.
