Hi,

When running my xQuery, I am getting the following error, but it doesn't tell me which file or line this refers to.

[DataDirect][XQuery][err:XPTY0004]A sequence with more than one item does not match the type element(Form, xs:anyType)? according to the Sequence Type Matching rules.

I took a guess on where this might be happening on, and commented out large portions of code. One block of code, if I removed, the xQuery runs. But if I add back just one single line (which had been used many times before and in many other functions), the problem comes back.

I don't have anywhere in the xQuery declaring the type "element(Form, xs:anyType)?".

How can I resolve this error?

Thanks

Hi Kam,
the element(Form) sequence type is generated also when writing an XPath expression containing /Form/...
Can you find such expression in your code?

Hi Alberto,

No, not really. There is no node or element in the source XML data with name "Form". So there is no xPath or any code looks for /Form/ or something like that. There is an attribute (@type) that might have the value of "form" (lowercase).

The only thing is the output XML does get created with <Form></Form> nodes. These are just created by the xQuery code, but not searched for. There is no xPath code that looks for /Form/ from the result.

The only place that I "look into" the resulting XML is follows:

let $resultDetails := laforms:CA04130807-recursive($system, $form, $allRelevantDetails, $requestId, 0)
let $resultDetailsCount := count($resultDetails)

In the first line, the function returns 0 or more <Form></From> elements (with contents inside). And the count() function just counts how many of these <Form></Form> elements are there.

Thanks

Kam
