Can somebody respond to my problem. Please.

Very few straightforward changes are needed to your original 
stylesheet.  You just have to move the determination for the logic 
you are using inside your loop to outside your loop where you can 
make the determination accurately.



I also took a moment to distill out the common code from inside your 
choose statement, which is a pattern that often helps with downstream 
processing (but had nothing to do with your problem).



I hope the example below helps.  I added one variable and two parameters.
