I need to check if a meember doesn't exist or its
value equals "N" then do something. How can I do that?
I have something here but didn't work. Please advise
<xsl:when test="not(./*[name(.) = 'Shared']) |
(./Shared/text() ='N')">
This doesn't work because the union operator "|" works only on node sets,
whereas the two expressions on either side of it here both return Booleans.
You can't unify two Booleans.
I think you want
test="not(Shared) or Shared='N'"
...or (unabbreviated form of the same)...
test="not(child::Shared) or child::Shared='N'"
Translated into English, this reads "when there is no "Shared" element
child or when a "Shared" element child has (string) value = 'N'.
Cheers,
Wendell
