Abstract
A multidimensional extension of Bailey's transform is utilised to deduce two new generating relations of quite a general character. These expressions are then specialised to give more practical formulae in terms of Karlsson's generalised Kampé de Fériet functions which embody very many generating relations. A number of interesting special cases are given in an appendix which includes results involving Lauricella polynomials, generalised hypergeometric polynomials and the polynomials of Meixner, Charlier and Laguerre.
