RE: [xsl] IF-Test.....continued

Also, you have to create an element before you can add an attribute.

So you need something like

<xsl:template match="Book">
  <xsl:copy> <!-- copies the Book element -->
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <!-- copies the attributes it has -->

    <xsl:if test="not(@ISBN)"> <!-- adds an attribute when ISBN is missing -->
     <xsl:attribute name="NOCODE">
       <xsl:text>B01</xsl:text>
      </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
