The test is:   $fincodeParam = $nextRecordParam/@desc

This will evaluate to true if the string value of $fincodeParam (the
value of the "desc" attribute of the RECORDSECTION currently being
processed) is equal to the value of the "desc" attribute of ANY
following-sibling RECORDSECTION whose "colformat" attribute has a
value of "colbody".

I think you'll get what you want by putting a "[1]" before "/@desc" in
the above test.
