Hi Terry, you do not say why it doesn't work, but my guess is it's the variable.
I don't know what the surrounding code is (perhaps a for-each), but keep in mind that the xslt processor will set the variable only once, not for each pass. Thus, if the first record had a type you want to keep, all records will be kept because the variable has already been evaluated. Just put your "select" directly into the "test". When working with XSLT, it helps to keep in mind that it's not a programming language, but rather a templating language. It's not imperative - if anything, it's functional.
