My XML document is invalidated because the schema requires a number with two decimal positions.

Below is an excerpt from my xquery code:
<t5:MontantCaseO>{number($PRL1DTLR00/XDROTHINC)}</t5:MontantCaseO>

and the error message I receive:
v:\My Documents\RL1XMLProject\xml\MergeRL1_2010_test_.xml:1,13389: value '31.5' does not match regular expression facet '\d{1,7}\.\d{2}|\d{1,7},\d{2}'

On a side note: Is there a comprehensive reference for xQuery? I'm finding it impossible to find solutions on my own and it's very frustrating.

Thank you,

Vincent

It seems to me you will need to transform prior to processing with the target schema.

These pages seem to be a good start for your question.
