Have you tried using -lib saxon.jar on the command line? This puts
saxon first on the classpath, which makes Trax load it instead of the
default JDK-provided XSLT engone.

the 'value' one is wrong. "-l -a" is not an argument. "-l" and "-a" are.

Use 'line' instead. Better yet, using

    <arg value="-o" />
    <arg file="${env.SARS_REPORTS_HOME}/lib/temp/pbd.xml" />

Notice the forward-slash. 'value' and 'line' are string-based args,
that don't assume anything about the args. 'file' knows it's a
filename, and "does the right thing" (TM) to convert into a proper
filename for the current platform.

Again, better to use 'file' above.

This is correct OTOH. Even if span (or the other properties) contain
spaces, you most likely want to pass it in as a single argument.

With these changes, should work fine. --DD
