RE: passing parameters to templates

That works but I cannot use it that way.  Is it possible to pass the
parameter using just <xsl:apply-templates/> not having to select a
specific template to pass the parameter to?

This probably means no parameter was passed to the template.
You'll have to have a
  <xsl:apply-templates select="...">
    <xsl:with-param name="report_name" select="'foo'"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
which selects a BeginEndDate to match.

In your case either you never passed a parameter to any
template, or there was a default template interfering.

It is best to learn how to use template parameters with
small test cases rather than full blown production code.

If you want to use a stylesheet parameter, define the
<xsl:param> as child of <xsl:stylesheet>. You still have
to pass the parameter value from the outside using a processor
specific mechanism.
