Hi Peter,
If you are trying to use the transistors to program the output current of the L200 then you shoud have said so in the 1st post.
Notice in the datasheet that the sensing resistor isn't grounded like your transistors would do. Your resistors are the load on the L200.
Transistors won't work anyway because with a load of 2A and even with a very high base current of 200mA, their max saturation voltage is about 1.0V. If you are lucky and get some "typical" transistors then the saturation voltage is 0.32V so the current setting will be much too low.
But your base current is only 20mA, not 200mA.
You need some kind of floating high current switches, like relay contacts.
