Richard,
This gets back to basic XQuery syntax. Any XQuery program (aka main
module) is a sequence of expressions. In order to call two functions, we
write a program than consists of a sequence of two function call
expressions.
You already have two function calls, but they aren't in a sequence. At
http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#prod-xquery-Expr we find:
Expr ::= ExprSingle ("," ExprSingle)*
For example:
current-date(),
current-time()
This sequence-oriented processing model is one of the difficult parts of
XQuery for most programmers to learn. Parenthetically, I'm the sort of
person who taught myself Perl, Java, etc. But I found that XQuery was a
difficult language to pick up on my own. I thought I could read it
pretty quickly, but I was usually wrong about what the program would do,
and I couldn't write new queries from scratch.
I think our three-day developer course helps with this:

Hi,
I’m having a problem inserting multiple documents from XQuery. My code is like
this
(: code to build $content1 and $content2 :)
xdmp:document-insert($uri1, $content1)
xdmp:document-insert($uri2, $content2)
either of these inserts works on its own, but when together I get the error
XDMP-UNEXPECTED: (err:XPST0003) Unexpected token syntax error, unexpected
QName_, expecting $end
in /insertdocs.xqy, on line 55 [0.9-ml]
Line 55 is the second document-insert.
Clearly I’m not grasping how document-insert works, is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Richard.
