Hi all, First of all: Thanks for Saxon. It's simply the best. :D As I could not find anything about my question in the W3C specs I'm aksing here: May modules have external variables? Saxon doesn't complain about the declaration of an external variable in a module, but I don't know how to pass the argument to Saxon. Here is my simple code: (: Main module :) import module namespace m3 = "http://example.org/module3" at "module3.xquery"; $m3:foo (: Imported module :) module namespace m3 = "http://example.org/module3"; declare variable $m3:foo external; I tried to run Saxon: $ java net.sf.saxon.Query module-use-module3.xquery foo=bar and $ java net.sf.saxon.Query module-use-module3.xquery m3:foo=bar but all I get is this error: XPDY0002: No value supplied for required parameter $foo Query processing failed: Run-time errors were reported Thanks for having a look at this, Michael PS: My environment: * Saxon-B 8.9.0.4J * Sun Java version 1.6.0 * Debian Linux 4.0
