Hi,
I have Tamino 4.4 patch 6 and the following query give me a Variable Undefined: $deal error

for $contract in input()/contract return
<contract>{
$contract/*[not(deals)],
<deals>{for $deal at $i in $contract/deals/deal return
<index>{$i}</index>,
$deal[$deal-index]/*[not(index)]
}</deals>
}</contract>

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Ryan

Ryan,

sorry to answer “yes”

your inner FLWOR expression ends at the comma, hence
$deal[$deal-index]/*[not(index)] is outside, and $deal is not known.
I do not know what the intended semantics is, maybe you want to add parenthesis to include this into the return clause. I changed the layout of your query to make things more obvious:

for $contract in input()/contract return
<contract>{
$contract/*[not(deals)],
<deals>
{
for $deal at $i in $contract/deals/deal return <index>{$i}</index>,
$deal[$deal-index]/*[not(index)]
}
</deals>
}</contract> 

Maybe what you want is:

for $contract in input()/contract return
<contract>{
$contract/*[not(deals)],
<deals>
{
for $deal at $i in $contract/deals/deal 
return (<index>{$i}</index>,
$deal[$deal-index]/*[not(index)])
}
</deals>
}</contract> 

By the way, maybe you have to exchange $deal-index by $i

Harald,
Wow, really not having a good day with XQuery. Thanks for the help that all works now
