Iterate through XML find the missing element and prepare report

Question

Hi',
I am reading a XML and if the ID is missing in that XML, then I have to make a report which can be send by mail
by telling that these are the name for which ID is not present.
I am able to iterate through the records and check if the ID is not present and pick the names for that,
What I am not getting is how to put these names in a proper format.
Like if I copy then each time the variable will be overwritten, if I use a append then a full new XML gets created.
Please tell me how I can make a proper report.
Thanks
Yatan
<Records>
<Employee>
<name>Yatan</name>
<ID></ID>
<Age>28</Age>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<name>Yagya</name>
<ID>101</ID>
<Age>27</Age>
</Employee><Employee>
<name>Yugansh</name>
<ID></ID>
<Age>24</Age>
</Employee>
</Records>

What about you do a XSLT transformation to get the email content in HTML format... That would avoid you to iterate through your XML...
The template would be like this:
<xsl:template match="/">
        <h2>These are the employees without ID</h2>
        <xsl:for-each select="/Records/Employee[ID = '']">
            <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
            <BR/>
        </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>This is just a sample, syntax was not verified, but I think you'll get the idea...
Please let me know if this was helpful...
Cheers,
