Hi An, the root function returns the root of the tree to which the current node belongs, usually be a document node. You can retrieve the attribute according to your root element e.g. by $otx/ROOT_ELEMENT/@package, where ROOT_ELEMENT ist the root element of your document.

Hi,

In my xquery, I use the root() function to return the root element of an element. I could get the root element, but I couldn't get any attributes of it.

For example: for $value in collection()/otx/imports/import let $otx:=root($value) return $otx/@package

Thanks

Cheers, An
