In fact you're passing a node as a parameter. But anyway, I don't think =

matters.

The problem is the context node. Each xpath expression is evaluated with=
  =

respect to a context node.

<xsl:for-each select=3D"hea/Batch/Rec[not(listID =3D  =

preceding-sibling::Rec/listID)]">
<!-- the context node is a 'Rec' element here-->
           <xsl:call-template name=3D"Batch">
              <xsl:with-param name=3D"DataType" select=3D"listID"/>
           </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>


<xsl:template name=3D"Batch">
<!-- the context node is still a 'Rec' element here-->

<xsl:for-each select=3D"hea/Batch/Rec[sec=3D'Daily' and listID =3D
$DataType]">
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

So you're actually matching for 'hea/Batch/Rec/hea/Batch/Rec[sec=3D'Dail=
y'  =

and listID =3D $DataType]'

A quick and dirty solution is to use '//hea/Batch/Rec[sec=3D'Daily' and =
 =

listID =3D $DataType]'.

Better is to use keys...
