RE: accessing info outside current context

Jeni,

I tried escaping the ampersands as you suggested, and got further, but the
test never evaluates to true.  I even hard coded everything in the url and
it still didn't help.  My guess is Discoverer is not giving me the xml I
think it is, even though I can navigate to that url and view it.  I've
decided to stick with the xsql solution, but thanks for all your help!

It might have been my fault for forgetting to point out that you'd
need to escape the ampersands when you used the call in an XSLT
stylesheet (the error would be very low-level if you didn't do that).
In the stylesheet, it should look like:

<xsl:variable name="workbooks"
 
select="document('http://hbcora59/psr/Viewer?_but=Connect&amp;db=dwbspt11&am
p;nlsl=en-us&amp;in=dwb&amp;_in=dwb&amp;lc=false&amp;us=rpekarek&amp;fm=xml&
amp;ac=rpekarek')" />

Cheers,

Jeni
