i have the following xml input

<RS>
      <SAvailRQ>
            <Code>AL</Code>
            <FNum>131</FNum>
      </SAvailRQ>
<SMapRS>
<SMapResponses>
      <SMapResponse>
            <SegInfo FNum="131">
            <Departure LocationCode="MIA"/>
            <Arrival LocationCode="LAX"/>
            <Marketing Code="AL"/>
            </SegInfo>
      </SMapResponse>
      <SMapResponse>
            <SegInfo FNum="118">
            <Departure LocationCode="LAX"/>
            <Arrival LocationCode="MIA"/>
            <Marketing Code="AL"/>
            </SegInfo>
      </SMapResponse>
</SMapResponses>
</SMapRS>
</RS>

I need logic such that if RS/SAvailRQ/FNum matches that found in RS/SMapRS/SMapResponses/SMapResponse/SegInfo/@FNum
to call a template to build an Info node on that match only.

Currently, I have the following
<xsl:apply-templates select="SMapResponses/SMapResponse/SegInfo"/>
but this loops twice (bc there are 2 SegInfo), I do not want that. I just want it to go into this template for the matching record(s) and then process data for that matching record only.

So how do I apply a for-each statement that will find matching FNum in SAvailRQ with that in SMapResponse and have that template called for that instance(s) only?

basically a filter.

<xsl:variable name="this-fnum" select="ancestor::RS/SAvailRQ/FNum"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="SMapResponses/SMapResponse/SegInfo[@FNum = $this-fnum]"/>

yes, that worked successfully.

if possible, can you please explain how the ancestor feature works in this case?

well, since I found this in the selct of your apply-templates
SMapResponses/SMapResponse/SegInfo,
I assumed your current context was SMapRS,
that means you have to go up and back down again to get the FNum value
ancestor:: is theaxis walking up the tree
so ancestor::RS is jumping back up to the root of the XML
