Yes, this is a known bug, it has already been fixed in the latest snapshot [1]. 9.2.4 will be released this or next week.

Hope this helps, Christian

The below code works fine in 9.2.2 (and any version before), but when we execute the below in 9.2.3 we get the following error. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

*Cannot convert element() to xs:string?: $status := <EmploymentStatusCode>Active</Employment....*

declare function local:employmentStatus($employee as element()?) as xs:string?

{

$employee/*:Employment/*:EmploymentStatus/*:EmploymentStatusCode

};

declare function local:isActive($employee as element()?) as xs:boolean

{

let $status := local:employmentStatus($employee)

return

if (string-length($status) > 0)

then

contains($status, 'Active')

else

false()

};

let $ee := <Subscriber><Employment><EmploymentStatus><EmploymentStatusCode>Active</EmploymentStatusCode></EmploymentStatus></Employment></Subscriber>

return

local:isActive($ee)
