sorry I couldn't look in detail at your code:-)
saxon:/xsl:function is a natural component of a functional luanguage that
just didn't get in to XSLT 1.
But
<saxon:assign name="i" expr="$i+1"/>
causes extreme damage to the functional paradigm (and to my eyes...)
Unless your fixed length fields are really long it's easier to do
padding just using
concat($theString,substring($x, 1, $fixedLength - string-length($theString)))
where $x is a sufficiently long string of space characters.
