Concatenating a string

[synapsevampire]

Trying to modify some XML gen'd by Lawson to allow for dynamic URL creation to launch a Crystal Report in Crystal Enterprise. I know how to do so using other methods, but I need an XML solution.

Basically I need to replace the ALL values in the URL near the end of the code with what was entered into the id="label1", id="label2", etc. variables.

I've tried to concatenate the values but I don't understand how to concatenate a string in XML.

All suggestions appreciated.

You'll need to use XSLT variables and concatenation. The various XPath functions you'll need are here:
