Hi folks,
The enclosed function returns a proper result only when the LOOP and its enclosed functionality is removed from the
function.Notice near the return I have xml=xml||'</transaction>';
That should at the least return what ever is in xml with </transaction> concatinated, or so I would hope. But it's
empty.
I am using postgresql 7.4.6 on FreeBSD.
Any assistance in correcting this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
