RE: How to assign a nodelist to a variable

I have something similar scenario.  I need to select the nodeset using 'key'
and pass this to other templates.  
If I do like below, I am getting tree fragment.
<xsl:variable name="switch"> 
   <xsl:template name="pTH">
      <xsl:param name="cT"/>
      <xsl:for-each select="$fieldHeaders">
         <xsl:for-each select="key('customerLookup',
$cT/ancestor-or-self::customerList/@id)/*">
            <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
         </xsl:for-each>
      </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:variable>

How do I achieve this?

Thanks,
Ganesh.

This should be changed to:

<xsl:variable name="valores" select="ROW[field1 = 'A' and field2 = 'B']" />

When a variable is given its value via the select attribute,
it can remain a nodeset.
When the value is given as the content (child[ren]) of xsl:variable,
it gets converted to a result tree fragment, which cannot be used
as a nodeset in XSL 1.0.
