External variables not yet supported by Daffodil either for anything yet. On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 9:59 AM, Steve Hanson <smh@uk.ibm.com> wrote:
Yes, it's all described in the DFDL spec. Set external='yes' on dfdl:defineVariable.
Not yet supported by IBM DFDL though for user-defined variables, only for the 4 pre-defined variables.

XSLT has an ability to pass an external value to a parameter within the stylesheet, using <xsl:param>.
Does DFDL have a similar capability? Does dfdl:defineVariable allow this?
