Thanks for your reply, but sorry, cause I am still a newbie.
How do you concatenate all the Payment_Pattern that comes back ?
Can you show me an example please ? thx

Sure. You can grab all the Payment_Pattern nodes in the document with the XPath "//Payment_Pattern" (short for "/descendant-or-self::node()/child::Payment_Pattern": aren't you glad there's a short version?). These can be concatenated into a single Result Tree Fragment using a copy-of instruction, and bound to a variable:

<xsl:variable name="PPatterns">
  <xsl:copy-of select="//Payment_Pattern"/>
</xsl:variable>

Then you can treat the variable $PPatterns like a string. So

<xsl:value-of select="string-length($PPatterns) - string-length(translate($PPatterns,'2','')"/>

will tell you how many 2s appear throughout your entire set of Payment_Patterns.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Wendell
