It's difficult to know what aspect of this problem you are finding
difficult, since you haven't shown us your attempts to solve it.

Use <xsl:choose> to switch between the success/failure outputs

Use test="/*/AcctngCodeOut/Error" to test for the presence of an Error
element.

>          <description>Order 78960 does not exist</description>

> <accountcheckreply>
>       <success>true</success>
