error when passing parameter on command line

I'm having trouble passing in a parameter on the command line. My syntax is as follows: java net.sf.saxon.Transform -o output.xml input.xml transform.xsl {param=10} and this is the error message I get back: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No closing '}' in Clark name at net.sf.saxon.om.NamePool.allocateClarkName(NamePool.java:694) at net.sf.saxon.Controller.setParameter(Controller.java:1712) at net.sf.saxon.Transform.setParams(Transform.java:899) at net.sf.saxon.Transform.processFile(Transform.java:798) at net.sf.saxon.Transform.doTransform(Transform.java:478) at net.sf.saxon.Transform.main(Transform.java:60) Fatal error during transformation: No closing '}' in Clark name I've tried to express the parameter without the curly brackets, and while this avoids the error above, the parameter does not get passed to my stylesheet. Does anyone know I'm doing wrong here? Thanks!

I don't know where you got the idea of using curly braces like this. Your syntax is correct if you leave them out. If that doesn't work, show us what you're doing and show your evidence that the value isn't being seen in the stylesheet (perhaps your stylesheet syntax was equally inventive, who knows?)

I got the syntax from the help file: Saxon 8.7.1J from Saxonica Usage: java net.sf.saxon.Transform [options] source-doc style-doc {param=value} Which I see now was a misinterpretation. I was pretty much trying anything I could to make this work. When I leave out the braces, I get this error: Error at xsl:param on line 5 of file:transform.xsl: XTDE0700: No value supplied for required parameter Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported And here's line 5 from my xsl: <xsl:param name="identifier" as="xs:string" required="yes"/> I'm aware that I'm passing in an integer and casting it as a string...

The name of your parameter is "identifier", so the command line should say java net.sf.saxon.Transform [source-doc style-doc identifier=23

That's actually just my mistake entering the command in my first post. I did in fact type 'integer=16' to match the parameter name in my XSL.

I'm sorry, but if you make mistakes like that when posting your question, then how can I guess what mistakes you made when you wrote your actual code? I need to know what you actually did and what the error was.
