Re: problems with <xsl:variable>

This is not an FO question so this is the wrong list, you should be on
xsl-list@lists.mulberrytech.com
but anyway:

<xsl:when test="(string-length(origID) = 0) a
                               ^^^^^^

that is looking for an element called origID not a variable you want
 $origID
 ^
 ^

incidentally don't do

<xsl:variable name="origID">
              <xsl:value-of
Select="Statements/ClientStatements/StmtsClient/Client/original/ID"/>a
</xsl:variable>

which makes a result tree fragment containing a root node and a text
node,
do
<xsl:variable name="origID"
select="Statements/ClientStatements/StmtsClient/Client/original/ID"/>

(Ignoring the "a" that I'm assuming was a typo, ortherwise string-length
of $origID will never be 0 as it's always at least 2 with "a" and a
newline character at the end. and the fact that you had Select with a
capital S which is a syntax error)
