Hello Michael, I am getting the following error (I am using 9.1.0.3j): Error at xsl:apply-templates on line 4116 of xslt-xml-schema.xsl: SXLM0001: Too many nested apply-templates calls. The stylesheet may be looping. at xsl:apply-templates (file:/home/wheerde/xsd/xslt-xml-schema.xsl#4109) processing /xs:schema/xsd:group[1]/xsd:choice[1] at xsl:apply-templates (file:/home/wheerde/xsd/xslt-xml-schema.xsl#4116) processing /xs:schema/xsd:group[1]/xsd:choice[1]/xsd:group[1] at xsl:apply-templates (file:/home/wheerde/xsd/xslt-xml-schema.xsl#4109) processing /xs:schema/xsd:group[1]/xsd:choice[1] at xsl:apply-templates (file:/home/wheerde/xsd/xslt-xml-schema.xsl#4116) ............etc etc etc............... My xslt program worked fine unbtil I added another template. I do not understand the message because I do not use deep nested templates and the program is not looping. The program is no looping because the nested template was already executed. The structure of the program contains a lot of steps like: <xsl:variable name="var1"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$var0//error"> <xsl:copy-of select="$var0"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:apply-templates mode="mode1" select="$var1"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:if test="$trace and not($var0//error)"> <bebug-1><xsl:copy-of select="$var1"/></debug-1> </xsl:if> <xsl:variable name="var2"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$var1//error"> <xsl:copy-of select="$var1"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:apply-templates mode="mode2" select="$var2"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:if test="$trace and not($var1//error)"> <bebug-2><xsl:copy-of select="$var2"/></debug-2> </xsl:if> <xsl:variable name="var3"> etc etc etc................... As you can see the templates are not nested. When I remove one of the steps the program works fine so I think some limit is reached. Can you help me on this one because I still have to add a lot more osteps in the future. Already thanx, Willem./
