RE: Output based on the existence of a particular piec

It's difficult to know what aspect of this problem you are finding
difficult, since you haven't shown us your attempts to solve it.

Use <xsl:choose> to switch between the success/failure outputs

Use test="/*/AcctngCodeOut/Error" to test for the presence of an Error
element.
