I have another simple xsl variable question. I’m trying to evaluate an expression and toggle an ‘AM’ or ‘PM’ suffix. The variable never evaluates to anything. I’ve even changed my test to with no luck.

<xsl:variable name="DisplayAMPM">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="number(substring($LastBootUpTime, 9,2))>11">
      <xsl:value-of select="PM"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="AM"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:copy-of select="DisplayAMPM"/>

    If you use value-of, put the “AM” and “PM” in quotes so that the processor sees it as a string.

    Also, if you reference the variable, like you’re trying to do in the copy-of, don’t forget the $.

    <xsl:variable name="DisplayAMPM">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="number(substring($LastBootUpTime, 9,2))>11">
      <xsl:value-of select="'PM'"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="'AM'"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:copy-of select="$DisplayAMPM"/>
