Can not store value into xsl:variable

Hello All ,

I have following xml fragment in my xml ..
<PARAMETERS>
	<PARAMETER>
		<NAME>ROLE</NAME>
		<VALUE>SM</VALUE>
	</PARAMETER>
	<PARAMETER>
		<NAME>ACTION</NAME>
		<VALUE>BLOTTER</VALUE>
	</PARAMETER>
	<PARAMETER>
		<NAME>AMOUNT</NAME>
		<VALUE></VALUE>
	</PARAMETER>
</PARAMETERS>

I want to store the text node of VALUE tag (into a xsl variable) where
PARAMETERS/PARAMETER/NAME/text()='ROLE'

How do I go about doing this ? I tried using this global variable

<xsl:variable name="roleVar">
<xsl:for-each select="/OuterTag/InnerTag/PARAMETERS/PARAMETER">
	<xsl:if test="NAME/text() = 'ROLE'">
	<xsl:value-of select="VALUE"/>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

However when I try to use the value of $roleVar using xsl:value-of tag ,
I do not get any result .

I also tried
<xsl:variable name="roleVar"
select="/OuterTag/InnerTag/PARAMETERS/PARAMETER/NAME[text() =
'ROLE']/../VALUE"/>

But this too returns empty value .I am using XALAN API for transform.
Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks
Manish
