Well I'd have thought something like this utterly untested segment:
| Code: |
IF InputRoot.XMLNSC.y IS NULL THEN
|
would work, depending on if the tag is null or empty. You could also use LENGTH(FIELDVALUE(y)) > 0
(I assume you didn't actually try to use a function called FILED VALUE...)

It all depends on your definition of null and if you consider the 4 following cases to be equivalent:
| Code: |
<mntag/>
<mntag></mntag>
<mntag xsi:nil="true" />
<mntag xsi:nil="true"></mntag>
|
Have fun

I think you want to use:
| Code: |
IF FIELDVALUE(InputRoot.XMLNSC.y) IS NULL THEN
**do something**
|
-mf |
