Parameters

Argument

Description

parent-context

Optional argument. Supplies the parent context. See also Example: Changing the Parent Context.

 

Parent context is the context inherited from a parent node. It determines what source data and intermediate results are available to descendant nodes. Some data-processing components, including core aggregation functions, join components, and variables, provide a parent-context parameter that allows you to influence the inherited context and consequently change the output.

strings

This argument must be connected to a source item which supplies the actual data. The supplied argument value must be a sequence (zero or many) of xs:string.
