Alicia,
Trying someing like that

xsl:choose
xsl:when test="VMSTA and string-length(normalize-space(VMSTA))=0"
xsl:value-of select="('01')"/
/xsl:when
xsl:otherwise
xsl:value-of select="(VMSTA)"/
/ xsl:otherwise
/xsl:choose

If you are still in trouble send us the xslt + xml.

Ivan

Alicia,

What do you mean by blank?

1) The tag value is empty

<VMSTA></VMSTA>

Then the solution I gave you works as expected.

2) the tag is not present, then you need to change

<xsl:for-each select="VMSTA">
<SalesStatus>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=". and string-length(normalize-space(.))=0">
<xsl:value-of select="'01'"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</SalesStatus>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="LVORM">

To
<SalesStatus>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="VMSTA">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="'01'"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</SalesStatus>


As I already told, you need to make some efforts to learn XSLT (not the
tool, the language)
If you have more question on Stylus Studio post them on the forum

Good Luck
Ivan
