CALL TRANSFORMATION - Existence check condition on XML elements

[konstantinos_vassiliadis]

Hello experts,

I have a situation where I want to parse an XML file using a simple XSLT. I use conditions on tags in case an element is not present in the source XML.

The problem is that it seems in some elements the conditional check works and in other it fails. 

If I omit the conditional check and just read the value of the element - if present - it reads it ok.

I attach an extract of the XSLT source code to let you understand and, possibly, help me overcome this issue. Also, I attach part of the XML under deserialization.

Thanks a lot,

Konstantinos

NB I found the solution, by mistake I was using the wrong ST command. Since I am doing de-serialization, I had to use the command shown in the last attachment.

Thanks for the feedback, but alas nobody would open all your images one image at a time (click-wait 3 seconds-close four times). Except me... Instead, you can paste code or paste images (Ctrl+V). In short, you have used <tt:s-cond> (s for serialization) instead of <tt:cond> or <tt:d-cond>. For serialization, you might use CALL TRANSFORMATION ... OPTIONS initial_components = 'suppress' to avoid all <tt:s-cond check="not-initial(...)"> (assuming that the initial values are optional in the receiving application).
