It looks like you're trying to set up a multi-valued key, correct? I think you're confusing the XPath union operator (|) with the literal pipe character you're using later for the key value. So I think you're looking for this:

<xsl:key name="k1" match="ROW" use="concat(COLUMN[@NAME ='JOBCODE'], '|', COLUMN[@NAME = 'JC_CODE'])"/>

Thanks David. I want to iterate with the Key.

I tried this way its not working.

<xsl:key name="k1" match="ROW" use="COLUMN[@NAME ='JOBCODE'] | COLUMN[@NAME = 'JC_CODE']"/> 


 <xsl:variable name="job_code" select="'P10'"/>
    <xsl:variable name="jc_code" select="'P10'"/>
    <xsl:variable name="keyvalue" select = 
"concat($job_code,'|',$jc_code)"/>

  <xsl:for-each select="key('k1',$keyvalue)">
      <!-- some output-->
   </xsl-for-earch>

is this not correct way of doing.

Thanks,
Anil
