Can someone please tell me how to assign a value to a variable in XSL ?

I have defined the variable as below:

<xsl:variable name="foundFlag" select="'Yes'"/>

and later on I want to CHANGE the value of this variable to 'NO'.

How can I do that, PLEASE ?

This language has no side effects, hence, you cannot change variables once they are bound. Having given a value to "foundFlag", you cannot change it.

You must solve your problem differently and not consider the use of global variables.
