[XQZone General] Problem in Setting Xquery Variable Values

[Sandesh Pai]

Hi and thanks for the quick reply,
  As Ron said " define variable $foo as xs:string external " works but
I was thinking
  "declare variable $foo external; " should work.
 Can you tell me what is the diffrence between these two and why the
second one is not working?

Regards
Sandesh
