my xml input file should read as follows

Also validating my complete xml file within xmlspy returns no validation errors.

OK, then your complete file is somewhat different than your example. The example still isn't quite right, because it has no root element, which means that there are two <TABLE> elements at the root. However, I made the adjustment of adding a root element surrounding what you have (as above), and then took what you provided as a simplified stylesheet earlier and added the root element of xsl:stylesheet to that as well as follows:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/199/XSL/Format">

<xsl:template match="TABLE"> <fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="7.5in" space-before.optimum="5pt"> <xsl:for-each select="DPROW/OBJECT"> <fo:table-column column-width="{6.26 div last()}in"/> </xsl:for-each> <fo:table-body> <xsl:apply-templates/> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I then ran the test file with that stylesheet through xalan, and I got this result from the transformation:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<fo:table xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/199/XSL/Format" space-before.optimum="5pt" width="7.5in" table-layout="fixed"><fo:table-column column-width="6.26in"/><fo:table-body>

2

</fo:table-body></fo:table> <fo:table xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/199/XSL/Format" space-before.optimum="5pt" width="7.5in" table-layout="fixed"><fo:table-column column-width="6.26in"/><fo:table-body>

1

<fo:table space-before.optimum="5pt" width="7.5in" table-layout="fixed"><fo:table-column column-width="3.13in"/><fo:table-column column-width="3.13in"/><fo:table-body>

      3
       4

   </fo:table-body></fo:table>
</fo:table-body></fo:table>

I don't see any problems with the output, but I gather that you do. What did you expect to come out differently?
