Alternative for breaking out of for-each loop in XSLT

Hi,

I want to read the error description corresponding to error codes which
will be included in the output of the transformation. The structure of
the XML file (REC_STATUS.xml) containing error codes is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<error>

<header name="ERR_STATUS">
<parameter name="value" value="Permission Denied "/>
<parameter name="code" value="1"/>
<parameter name="shortStr" value="BN"/>
</header>

</error>

There is one XSL file which reads the error code as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:template name="StatusDesc">
    <xsl:param name="statCode"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="$statCode"/>
    <xsl:for-each select="document('REC_STATUS.xml')//error/header">
        <xsl:variable name="varFlag">
            <xsl:for-each select="parameter">
                <xsl:if test="@name='code' and @value=$statCode">
                    <xsl:text>true</xsl:text>
                </xsl:if>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:variable>
        <xsl:if test="$varFlag='true'">
            <xsl:for-each select="parameter">
                <xsl:if test="@name='value'">
                    <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
                </xsl:if>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The problem is that, each time I need to get an error description from
the XML file, the whole XML file needs to be parsed. For example, if the
XML file contains 100 error codes, it requires 100 iterations. Even if
the error code is found, I can't stop the iteration because XSLT doesn't
support breaking out of for each loop. This can lead to performance
issues in production.

Let me know if the above information is sufficient.

How can I break out of the for-each loop once the error code is found?
