Thanks. The storing in variable works fine but now that I have a better understanding of the process, I am getting confused with the file response you wrote me and how to get the xml file that I need from the one that I have.

<d1p1:Worker>

<d1p1:Worker_Reference d1p1:Descriptor="Olga Akinyo">

<d1p1:ID d1p1:type="WID">af432f03c87f435f9ecb77460202f438</d1p1:ID>

<d1p1:ID d1p1:type="Contingent_Worker_ID">69816</d1p1:ID>

</d1p1:Worker_Reference>

</d1p1:Worker>

I want to Extract Full Name which is Ola

and

EmployeeID which is 69816.

I am having problem matching the first one you sent me to the original text above

Could you please, write me a mapping using the above to get the xml file below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Worker>

<Worker_Reference>Employee Name</Worker_Reference>

<Employee_ID>62005</Employee_ID>

</Worker>

The first one you sent me is copied below:

<Workers>

{

for $x in //d1p1:Worker

return

<Worker>

<EmployeeID>{$x/d1p1:Worker_Reference/d1p1:ID[@d1p1:type="Employee_ID"]/text()}</EmployeeID>

<FullName>?? unknown ??</FullName>

</Worker>

}

</Workers>
