Here we go!..
I have an input xml wherein a tag holds a declaration.
[u]ie</u>
<TestTemplate><?BTW_B2B_OnRamp_Test_Id bcRequestOrder?B2B_OR_bcRequestOrder_SMPFDIFFCP_OR DREJMIGSMPFDIFFCP?></TestTemplate>

I need to pick this declaration and have it at the top of my output xml, beneath the xml declaration.

If the TestTemplate holds only a string i'm able to make this happen with the xsl:processing-instruction.;)
But as the TestTemplate holds the complete declaration....i'm experiencing trouble in picking the complete declaration.

Is there a way u guyz can help me do it?

Thanx in advance,
Ramesh

It's not a declaration, it's a processing instruction; and it's not in a tag, it's between two tags (a start tag and an end tag).

You can use xsl:copy-of to copy the processing instruction. Something like

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:copy-of select="//TestTemplate/processing-instruction::*"/>
  <doc>
    ,,,
  </doc>
</xsl:template>

Sorry, that was nonsense. When I wrote

<xsl:copy-of select="//TestTemplate/processing-instruction::*"/>

I meant

<xsl:copy-of select="//TestTemplate/processing-instruction()"/>
