Thanks, that was it. I also was struggling because jmeter was not
telling me this was an unknown variable. For instance, I was fighting
this along with another typo that was leading me not to understand why
variables were not being substituted. The other problem was a simple
typo in the variable reference, but since jmeter never told me the
variable name was unknown, it wasn't obvious what the issue was. Is
there a reason jmeter doesn't log unknown variable references in
jmeter.log under normal conditions?

No, I know what the CSV itself should look like.. The question is what
would variables in the actual string need to look like to be subtituted
properly.
In the SOAP/XML-RPC element, I want to make the data field just be
${xmlstring} where ${xmlstring} is defined by the CSV data set element.
However, there is another variable, ${logID} that is defined in a UDV
element. The actual data in the csv file must include the ${logID}
references. So its something like
UDV:
${logid}=123
CSV Data set
${xmlstring} read from strings.csv
Xml-rpc request
data field = ${xmlstring}
But in strings.csv there will be something like
<tag1>bob</tag1><tag2>log item="${logid}"</tag2>
I want to ensure the ${logid} in the csv file actually gets substituted
out for the variable's value when it gets used by the xml-rpc request.
Do I need to use a function at all?

Trust me, I've been using it :) It helps to see what the variable
results in, but hasn't helped me figure out why the variable was that
(with my UDV problem for instance).
