Hi XMLP Gurus,

Is it possible to code watermark in XMLP by inserting a field and coding the condition in that field. Depending on the condition I can print the watermark text on the output. Is this achievable?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your response.
As I am new for XLMP, I am unable to pass value in the variable.

I have created a variable in the field and passed that variable( <?$WATER_M?> ) to the text field in MSWord water mark support.
<xsl: variable name = "WATER_M">

Now below this I am trying to code my condition say:
<?xdofx:if (C_ORDER_NUMBER) = 12345 then $WATER_M = 'MY ORDER' end if?>

but it is not working.
I think the syntax I am using to pass value to the variable when the condition is met is wrong. It should print "MY ORDER" as the water mark when the condition is met.

Can you please correct the syntax.

Thanks again.

Hi
XSL variables are not like say plsql variables, they behave more like constants ie you assign it an initial value and thats it.
USe the XMLP updatable variables, see the user guide for more details

Here is the code I'm using to assign the Word Watermark:

<xsl:variable name="wMarkCancel" select="'CANCELED'"/>

<?if: /PO_DATA/CANCEL_FLAG="Y"?>
<xsl:variable name="wMark">
<xsl:value-of select="$wMarkCancel"/>
</xsl:variable><?end if?>

And the value in MS Word in the Watermark Textbox (nav from MS Word: Format->Background->Printed Watermark->Text Watermark):


<?$wMark?>

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to only get the watermark to appear when a flag is set?

Thanks,

Tim,

I kind of have that impression as well. It looks like the watermark is preprocessed and any if logic wrapped around it is simply ignored, but there has to be a way. Having a watermark that will display when the purchase order is canceled seems like a fairly common requirement. Surely this can't be the first time this functionality has been requested?

Thanks,

RPP

Tim,

Are you still looking at this?

Thanks,

RPP

Tim,

Thanks very much, it works very well for me, and I'll probably frequently use that ifelse functionality as well.

KV,

The ifelse statement Tim suggested worked fine for me. Here's the actual code I have for a dynamic watermark:

<xsl:variable name="wMark" select="xdoxslt:ifelse(/PO_DATA/CANCEL_FLAG='Y’,'Canceled','')"/>

My code only assigns "Canceled" to the watermark if the flag is set to "Y" and leaves the watermark blank otherwise.

The other Choose and If-Else statements didn't work, but this one does. This is the only example of an xsl variable I've seen where the variable does not behave like a constant and is dynamic (though, technically, the wMark variable is assigned only once in the code).
