Manikandan SurendranathSubject: document() function throws unknown function error
Author: Manikandan Surendranath
Date: 06 Dec 2007 06:29 AM
I am writing a schematron which requires a external data reference. I came across an example in "http://www.zvon.org/xxl/SchematronTutorial/Examples/Example17/example.html" where it was suggested to use document() function.

But the processor gives me the Unknown function exception.

I got it, I was doing XPath implementation of Schematron where XSLT specific functions(like document() and key()) are unavailable.

But I got another issue in the below given line I am getting same error for current() function.

<report test="string-length(Year) = 2 and number(concat('20',Year,/Book/SchematronConfig/MonthMap/Month[@Name=current()/Month]/@Num,Date))>number(/Book/SchematronConfig/CurrentDate)">Future date not allowed.</report>

But current() is xpath function. Can some one help me?

Hi,
current() is not an XPath function, it's an XSLT one (like document()).

Thanks.

My objective is to find Date field that is greater than current date. My service object gives me the data set like below

<FiledDate>
<Date>22</Date>
<Year>2007</Year>
<Month>december</Month>
</FiledDate>

In the same data set I have current date information in
<ReportDate>20071223</ReportDate>

I wish to find the FiledDates that are greater than ReportDate. How can I do this in XPath. I am only writing schematron rules which is XPath implementation.

Hi,
unless your schematron tool supports XPath 2.0, I don't see how you could convert the 'december' into '12' before concatenating the fields into a single string.

I have created the rules in dirty way, but works.
<!-- For two digit date and 4 digit year -->
<report test="contains(translate(Month,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'dec') and string-length(Date)=2 and string-length(Year) = 4 and number(concat(Year,'12',Date))>number(/Book/SchematronConfig/ReportDate)">Future date not allowed.</report>

<!-- For two digit date and 2 digit year -->
<report test="contains(translate(Month,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'dec') and string-length(Date)=2 and string-length(Year) = 2 and number(concat('20',Year,'12',Date))>number(/Book/SchematronConfig/ReportDate)">Future date not allowed.</report>

<!-- For one digit date and 4 digit year -->
<report test="contains(translate(Month,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'dec') and string-length(Date)=1 and string-length(Year) = 4 and number(concat(Year,'12','0',Date))>number(/Book/SchematronConfig/ReportDate)">Future date not allowed.</report>

<!-- For one digit date and 2 digit year -->
<report test="contains(translate(Month,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'dec') and string-length(Date)=1 and string-length(Year) = 2 and number(concat('20',Year,'12','0',Date))>number(/Book/SchematronConfig/ReportDate)">Future date not allowed.</report>

Like wise repeated for all twelve months. It works for both month pattern 'dec' and 'december'. I think I have to repeat the whole set one more time if my service gives me month in number, phew!!!
