Try this:

<xsl:template match="*[@attr-name='jkuPeHabd']">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::add-attr[
                  @attr-name='jkuSLABS'][1]/value='90' and
                preceding-sibling::add-attr[
                  @attr-name='jkuSLART'][1]/value='50'">
      <xsl:copy-of select="." />
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <!-- do something else -->
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

AFAICT, there is something odd about the variables:

//value

all value nodes, descending (no matter what level) from

//*

any element node, at any level in the source document,

[@attr-name='jkuPeBeschSAP22SLART']

having an attribute attr-name equal to 'jku...'

I don't think that that's what you really want to compare to. In this case,
it could work, but add a few other nodes to your source document, and this
would lead to highly undesirable results.


Hope this helps!

Cheers,
