Re: Writing array elements based on a an evaluation of

The result I get is that it writes all the data for all account-LIST elements with no tages (excepts the ACCOUNT-LIST parent element tag) and it does not evaluate the string-length test

Accck.  It does evaluate the string-length test, as I've already
mentioned.  It includes at least once character (newline).  And every
account-list does have tags in your example.  (They're empty elements
though).

Ok, what are you asking?  I'm getting a little confused looking at all
your emails.

1) Do you want to eleminate Account-Lists that don't have elements
that have any value?

<xsl:template match="ACCOUNT_LISTS">
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(.)">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>

2) Or is it the case that the Account-No might be empty even with
other data in the Account-Lists field?  Because we can't tell from
your example

<xsl:template match="ACCOUNT_LISTS">
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(ACCOUNT_NO)">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
