... I used multiple statements in the modify function based on the documentation: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Update

Yes, I tried the query without the return earlier. I saw a syntax error: [XPST0003] Expecting 'where', 'order' or 'return' expression.

I return $c in my query but I still see the error. Looking at the error, I guessed that when a transform function is used in a query, return is required to replace.

Also, I am using two return statements inside the modify function. I am not sure if that is allowed. In any event, is there a way to update multiple nodes at the same time with or without using modify.

Thanks,

Sony

…still incorrect; "return" before "replace" doesn't make sense.
