help on tf:createTextRerence()

Hello! I want to group two groups of reference descriptions into one, but the following code returns empty ones:


for $d in input()/TEI.2/:text//text()
let $a := (let $ref1 := tf:createTextReference($d, "Kansas City")
for $refeach in $ref1
return <entry>{xs:int($refeach/@ino:start)}</entry>
)
let $b := (let $ref2 := tf:createTextReference($d, "New York City")
for $refeach in $ref2
return <entry>{xs:int($refeach/@ino:start)}</entry>
)
return <output>{$a}{$b}</output>

However the following test example returns perfect result:


for $d in input()/TEI.2/:text//text()
let $a := (let $ref1 := (1,2,3)
for $refeach in $ref1
return <entry>{$refeach}</entry>)
let $b := (let $ref2 := (5,5,5)
for $refeach in $ref2
return <entry>{$refeach}</entry>)
return <output>{$a}{$b}</output>

I assumed tf:createTextReferece() returns a sequence of reference descriptions and therefore I could not understand why the first Xquery does not return any results.

Hi,

I tested the following query
declare namespace tf=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/TaminoFunction
declare namespace xs = “XML Schema
declare namespace ino=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/response2

let $X:=Dies ist Kansas City und New York City
for $d in $X//text()
let $a := (let $ref1 := tf:createTextReference($d, “Kansas City”)
for $refeach in $ref1
return $refeach)
let $b := (let $ref2 := tf:createTextReference($d, “New York City”)
for $refeach in $ref2
return $refeach
)
return {$a}{$b}

and it works ok and delivers

<ino:object ino:docid=“1” ino:doctypeid=“0” ino:end=“15” ino:nodeid=“2” ino:start=“9” xmlns:ino=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/response2” />
<ino:object ino:docid=“1” ino:doctypeid=“0” ino:end=“20” ino:nodeid=“2” ino:start=“16” xmlns:ino=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/response2” />
<ino:object ino:docid=“1” ino:doctypeid=“0” ino:end=“28” ino:nodeid=“2” ino:start=“25” xmlns:ino=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/response2” />
<ino:object ino:docid=“1” ino:doctypeid=“0” ino:end=“33” ino:nodeid=“2” ino:start=“29” xmlns:ino=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/response2” />
<ino:object ino:docid=“1” ino:doctypeid=“0” ino:end=“38” ino:nodeid=“2” ino:start=“34” xmlns:ino=“http://namespaces.softwareag.com/tamino/response2” />

So I cannot reproduce
