INPUT FILE: (XML)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kala>
<havi>5</havi>
<kilu>3</kilu>
</kala>

The converter XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8"/>

<!-- global variables -->
<xsl:variable name="nr_kala" select="/kala/havi"/>

<!-- producer-code -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<Result>
<xsl:value-of select="$nr_kala"/>
</Result>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

===
The StylusStudio X15 with Saxon 9.5.1.8 gives the correct result as:
OUTPUT FILE:
<Result>5</Result>



The StylusStudio X16 with Saxon 9.7.0.3 gives an error message:
----

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error: at xsl:template on line 9 column 25 of kalaconv.xsl:

kalaconv.xsl (9, 25)
Error: at xsl:template on line 9 column 25 of kalaconv.xsl: XPDY0002: The context item for axis step (/)/kala is absent

Is there some bug or incompatibility between older and newer releases of the Saxon?
How to fix it?

Margus we have isolated the problem in the new Saxon 9.7.

When a TraceListener is register Saxon evaluates global variables before wiring the XML input.

We are working with Saxonica to find a solution.


Thanks for for the reporting the error and providing a useful test case

The most recent Saxon maintenance release (9.7.0.5) solves the problem.

We will update Saxon in our next update.
