Re: Can a single XPath statement duplicate the funct

Presuming you have only a single attribute (the name() function will abend if you have more than one), this may work for you ... it expresses a sequence and selects the first member of that sequence:

<xsl:copy select="( ../Location[name(@*)=name(current()/@*)] ,
                    ../Location/@denomination ,
                    '0' )[1]"/>

This relies on the XPath 2 behaviour of sequence ( (), x ) collapsing to ( x ).

Note the use of current() to return the node that was current at the start of evaluating the XPath expression (also available in XPath 1).

I hope this helps.
