I want a solution for udnerstanding how to hold a real loop counter as Java in xQuery, not a workaround for my particular simplified demo. I know in xQuery 3.0 there is a count reserved word for FLOWR structures but its useless pre-Saxon 9.something. Here my example.\[code\] for $elem at $x in /Data/* return element Elem { attribute Name {concat('_',$x,'.',name($elem))}, 
...10 lines of code... for $subelem at $y in $elem/* ...5 lets... return element SubElemen { attribute Name {concat('_',$x,'.',$y,'_',name($subelement))}, (...20 lines of other attrs and elements ...) for $subsubelem at $z in $subElem/SubSubElement let $absIterIndex := 'THIS IS WHAT IM LOOKING' let $subSubElemName := concat('_',$absIterIndex,'_',name($subElem)) return element SubSubElem { attribute Name {$subsubelem}, (..100 lines more playing with $x, $y, $absIterIndex, all lets for that iteration, attributes depending on them...)\[/code\]The output is something like this (real data hidden and simplified)\[code\] <Elem Name="_1.Name"> <SubElem Name="_1.1_Name"> <SubSubElem Name="_1.First"/> <SubSubElem Name="_2.Second"/> <SubSubElem Name="_3.Third"/> </SubElem Name="_1.1_Name"> <SubElem Name="_1.2_Name"> <SubSubElem Name="_4.Fourth"/> <SubSubElem Name="_5.Fifth"/> <SubSubElem Name="_6.Sixth"/> <SubSubElem Name="_7.Seventh"/> </SubElem Name="_1.1_Name"> <Elem Name="_2.Name"> <SubElem Name="_2.1_Name"> <SubSubElem Name="_8.Eighth"/> <SubSubElem Name="_9.Ninth"/> <SubSubElem Name="_10.Tenth"/> <SubSubElem Name="_11.Eleventh"/> </SubElem Name="_2.1_Name"> <SubElem Name="_2.2_Name"/> </Elem Name="_2.Name"> <Elem Name="_3.Name"> <SubElem Name="_3.1_Name"> <SubSubElem Name="_12.Twelven"/> </SubElem Name="_3.1_Name"> <SubElem Name="_3.2_Name"/> </Elem Name="_3.Name"> \[/code\]This is a extension of a previous question Autoincremental auxiliar index var for XQuery nested loops, which I accepted the solution for the xQuery 3.0 counter, and then propose an alternative for manually doing it. But know i think the perspective is different and more concrete, and with a new example. If you think it should be deleted just tell it to me.
