Re: [basex-talk] try catch with return?

Hi Bryan,

Query: for $doc in db:open('dk') let $dates := $doc//DATO for $date in $dates try{ return <gooddate>{xs:date($date)}</gooddate> } catch *{ return <baddate docid="{$doc/*/@ID}">{$date}</baddate>}

your `return` keywords are in the wrong spot, there should be one before the `try` and none inside:

for $doc in db:open('dk') let $dates := $doc//DATO for $date in $dates return try{ <gooddate>{xs:date($date)}</gooddate> } catch * { <baddate docid="{$doc/*/@ID}">{$date}</baddate> }

Hope that helps, cheers, Leo
