Hi,
This XSLT is not producing the tags which I have in bold. This xslt only generates an output file with the data values from the input file without enclosing tags.

Code:

<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheetxmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"xmlns:var="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/var"exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl var s0"version="1.0"xmlns:s0=http://www.TEST.org/schema/ePR_CFS/Shipment>

<xsl:outputomit-xml-declaration="yes"method="xml"version="1.0" /><xsl:templatematch="/"><xsl:apply-templatesselect="/s0:cfsBillgShipment" /> 

</xsl:template>

<xsl:templatematch="/s0:cfsBillgShipment"><xsl:apply-templatesselect="/s0:shipment" />

</xsl:template>

<xsl:templatematch="/s0:shipment"><xsl:apply-templatesselect="/s0:shipHeader" />

</xsl:template>
<xsl:templatematch="/s0:shipHeader"><ns0:Insert xmlns:ns0="http://Microsoft.LobServices.OracleDB/2007/03/SCOTT/Table/ARC_EPCFS_SHIPMENT_DATA">

<ns0:RECORDSET>

<ns0:ARC_EPCFS_SHIPMENT_DATARECORDINSERT>

<ns0:INTERFACELINETYPE>

<xsl:value-ofselect="s0:interfaceLineType/text()" />

</ns0:INTERFACELINETYPE>

<ns0:REGION_CODE>

<xsl:value-ofselect="s0:region/text()" />

</ns0:REGION_CODE>

<ns0:ORDER_NUMBER>

<xsl:value-ofselect="s0:orderNumber/text()" />

</ns0:ORDER_NUMBER>

<ns0:TRANSACTIONTYPE>

<xsl:value-ofselect="s0:transactionType/text()" />

</ns0:TRANSACTIONTYPE>

<ns0:FROM_CUSTOMER_CODE>

<xsl:iftest="s0:fromCustomerCode">

<xsl:value-ofselect="s0:fromCustomerCode/text()" />

</xsl:if>

</ns0:FROM_CUSTOMER_CODE>

<ns0:TO_CUSTOMER_CODE>

<xsl:value-ofselect="s0:toCustomerCode/text()" />

</ns0:TO_CUSTOMER_CODE>

<ns0:NUMBEROFSALESLINE>

<xsl:value-ofselect="s0:numberOfSalesLine/text()" />

</ns0:NUMBEROFSALESLINE>

</ns0:ARC_EPCFS_SHIPMENT_DATARECORDINSERT>

</ns0:RECORDSET>

</ns0:Insert>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Whatever you cut and pasted that from it is now gibberish - all the spaces seems to have been deleted, the colour coding is all over the place, and there are many many extra spaces meaning what might be succinct example XSLT is overly long.

Also, you say that it isn't producing the element in bold? With all that color and formatting I can't tell what is bold and what isn't.

I suspect that the problem is that you are using "/X" which will only match the element X if it is the root element in the document, and you seem to be putting the "/" in front of every single element name. Seeing as an XML document can only have one root element I know that wont work.

Actually removing the / did it. it was so dumb of me. Thanks again for the quick help.
