Function Copy error

[David Lee]

This (multiple output files)  is a data direct specific feature.

If you'd like to use saxon and XQuery but avoid writing custom java code, 
you might consider xmlsh.
www.xmlsh.org

The command "xsplit" will split documents of the sort you describe.
http://www.xmlsh.org/CommandXsplit

Combined with the the command  xmove
http://www.xmlsh.org/CommandXmove

Will rename the files in bulk based on an xpath expression.


But the xslt example Mr. Kay suggested looks easier :)

( fyi you can run xslt as a post process to your xquery code in your 
language of choice, including xmlsh).
   xquery ... | xslt ...
