RE: setting variables in xslt

what i want to do is: <xsl:when test="$iTimeZoneOffset= '-1'">, set
$iTimeZoneOffset to be $iCurrentOffset, since the operation in the
<xsl:when> statement is also been repeated in <xsl:otherwise>.

This will help me optimise my code

what is been repeated is:

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
	<xsl:choose>
		    <xsl:when test="$iHour &lt; $iTimeZoneOffset ">
			    <xsl:value-of select="($iDate - 1)"/><xsl:value-of
select="$iMonthYear"/>, <xsl:value-of select="($iHour + 24) -
$iTimeZoneOffset"/><xsl:value-of select="$iMinutes"/>
		    </xsl:when>
		    <xsl:otherwise>
			    <xsl:value-of select="$iDate"/><xsl:value-of select="$iMonthYear"/>,
			    <xsl:choose>
				<xsl:when test="$iHour &lt; '10'">
					0<xsl:value-of select="$iHour - $iTimeZoneOffset"/>
				</xsl:when>
				<xsl:otherwise>
					<xsl:value-of select="$iHour - $iTimeZoneOffset"/>
				</xsl:otherwise>
			    </xsl:choose>
			    <xsl:value-of select="$iMinutes"/>
		    </xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	    </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
the first time using $iCurrentOffset and the second time using
$iTimeZoneOffset. But with setting $iTimeZoneOffset to be $iCurrentOffset, i
will only have to write the above code once.

You can't modify variables in XSLT, it is a declarative language.

This is a FAQ, and the answer is always the same: tell us what problem
you are trying to solve, so we can tell you how you should be tackling
it.
