I am using Rmcobol v12 for Linux and we just purchased the xml extensions so I can work with XML files.  I am trying to create an xml file with the attributes inside the main tags, so I am assuming I need to use a external stylesheet on my XML EXPORT statement.  When I do it only prints the first line, and my attributes are blank.  If I don't use the stylesheet then it creates the whole xml file with my data, but the attributes are not in the proper format.  My stylesheet was generated on a website that converts an XML file to XSLT.  If anyone has any ideas, I would very much appreciate it.  I am new to using xml extensions.

xml file generated: (only get the first line)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<asap:AccountServicesTransmission xmlns:asap="urn:us:gov:treas:fms:Payment:AccountAuthorization:2.1" CycleDate="" FileNumber="" TestIndicator="" TransmissionTimestamp=""/>

Stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Your XSL has a couple of issues.  

The line <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:asap="urn:us:gov:treas:fms:Payment:AccountAuthorization:2.1" xmlns:xsl="">www.w3.org/.../Transform">

is ill formed.

Also, <asap:RecipientIdentifier> is followed by <xsl:value-of select="./asap:RecipientIdentifier"/>.

I'm guessing that you don't want "<xsl:value-of select="./asap:RecipientIdentifier"/>".

Here is what I'm guessing your XSL file should be

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

thank you I really appreciate you looking at that. I have one more question.   I have been playing with my stylesheet and got it to work with out the for-each on the elements.  My CreateAuthorizationRequest tag can repeat multiple times as well as other tags under it.  When I try to add the xsl:for-each in my stylesheet it doesn't work any longer.  How do you handle tags that can repeat multiple times in a stylesheet that XML extension will understand.
