Re: Using xsl to test value of node

    <xsl:if test() ="44639"/>  
XSL stylesheets have to be XML XML attribute names  can't include ()
so this won't get past the XML parser, so the xslt engine won't see the
stylesheet. You want
    <xsl:if test=".=44639"/>  

    <xsl:apply-templates select="LOCATION_ID"/> 
in that template the current node is CHARACTER_ID so the above XPath
would select LOCATION_ID children of CHARACTER_ID nodes, but there are
not any, you want
    <xsl:apply-templates select="../LOCATION_ID"/>
