Here is my xlst code so far:

I call the routine in this manner, set in a <xsl:for-each
select="company/division">:

<xsl:call-template name="max">
  <!--Pass the BUDGET values into the max routine using the pararmeter
BudgetValues-->
  <xsl:with-param name="BudgetValues" select="projects/project/BUDGET"/>
</xsl:call-template>

Here is the recursive routine:

<xsl:template name="max">
  <!--Use a parameter to hold all the values -->
  <xsl:param name="BudgetValues"/>
     <xsl:text>Passing in the values</xsl:text><p/>
	 <xsl:choose>
	    <!--Test to see if the node-set is empty -->
	   <xsl:when test="$BudgetValues">
	    <!--Get the first value of Budget -->
	    <xsl:variable name="firstValue" select="$BudgetValues[1]"/>
	    <!--Cycle through the rest of the values and place them in a
variable (max-of-rest)
		  By calling the template max
          -->
	    <xsl:variable name="max-of-rest">
		 <xsl:call-template name="max">
		   <xsl:with-param name="BudgetValues"
select="$BudgetValues[position() != 1]"/>

		 </xsl:call-template>
	   </xsl:variable>
	   <xsl:choose>
	   <!--Is the first Vlaue greater then the max-of-rest then select
firstValue -->
	   <xsl:when test="$firstValue &gt; $max-of-rest">
	   	<xsl:value-of select="$firstValue"/>
	   	<xsl:text>Got to the first value</xsl:text>
	   </xsl:when>
	   <!--If not then select the max-of-rest -->
	   <xsl:otherwise>
	   	<xsl:value-of select="$max-of-rest"/>
	   	<xsl:text>Got to the last value</xsl:text>
	   </xsl:otherwise>
	   </xsl:choose>
	   </xsl:when>
	   <!--If I get this value it the routine is incorrect -->
	    <xsl:otherwise><xsl:text>This is the wrong value
</xsl:text>0<p/></xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
		</xsl:template>

The sample of the output is shown (for three budget values for the PID
division):

PID : MAR1 Project Name: Marketing Project 1 Budget: 3200000
PID : SAL1 Project Name: Sales Project 1 Budget: 1000000
PID : RES1 Project Name: Research Project 1 Budget: 100000

The maximum budget value is
Passing in the values

wrong value 0Got to the last valueGot to the last valueGot to the last value

I wish to obtain the maximum value BUDGET value for each division, for the
projects in each division.

That is for division SAL, maximum budget value is 2000000.
That is for division ENG, maximum budget value is 4000000.
