Thanks for that.  What I mean by omitted nodes is that my transform does not output some of the nodes.

Point taken - thanks. I do n ot understand the difference between these constructs. Could you advise?




Here is a snippet of the input xml file:

<Transaction transactionType="CorporateCardReconciliation">
    <Header>
      <TransactionIdentifier><![CDATA[CC-DD101-S1]]></TransactionIdentifier>
      <EnterpriseLevel><![CDATA[ACME Engineering]]></EnterpriseLevel>

      <TransactionAmount>

        <CostCentre>
          <costCentreCode><![CDATA[CC1]]></costCentreCode>
        </CostCentre>
        <ProjectCode><![CDATA[CODE01]]></ProjectCode>

          <Accrual>
            <accountCode><![CDATA[999998]]></accountCode>
            <amount>
              <value><![CDATA[15.00]]></value>
              <sense><![CDATA[debit]]></sense>
            </amount>
          </Accrual>
        </Accruals>
      </Line>
      <Line>
        <ItemDescription><![CDATA[test dol]]></ItemDescription>
        <ItemNumber><![CDATA[2]]></ItemNumber>
        <SpendDate><![CDATA[2007-01-08T00:00:00+00:00]]></SpendDate>
        <CostCentre>
          <costCentreCode><![CDATA[CC1]]></costCentreCode>
        </CostCentre>
        <ProjectCode><![CDATA[CODE01]]></ProjectCode>
        <Accruals>
          <Accrual>
            <accountCode><![CDATA[100102]]></accountCode>
            <amount>
              <value><![CDATA[20.00]]></value>
              <sense><![CDATA[debit]]></sense>
            </amount>
          </Accrual>
        </Accruals>
      </Line>
    </Lines>
  </Transaction>



The first line above has the description "Personal Spend". I dont want to output this line in the 
transform, if (and only if) the transactionType="CorporateCardReconciliation" AND the 
CorporateCardSettlementType="personal".

In this scenario the first line should the Line that has description = "test dol", however its 
txn:Number shoudl be "1", not "2".
In all other circumstances the "Personal Spend" line should be output as normal.



Any ideas?


TIA - Adam
