XSLT 2.0 if then

In XSLT 2.0, can we use if then only means no else clause. <Employee><Status><xsl:value-of select="if (tns:Employee/tns:EmpId = 4) then 'new' else 'old'"/></Status></Employee> Here if I don't want else clause, means if empid is not 4, then do not populate Status field. what will be xslt?

If you don't want any status at all, you can easily achieve this with the standard xsl:if in XSLT (available in all versions)

<Employee>
    <xsl:if test="tns:Employee/tns:EmpId = 4">
      <Status>new</Status>
    </xsl:if>
</Employee>

Unless I'm reading the question wrong, just add an empty string or empty sequence.

Example... 

if (tns:Employee/tns:EmpId = 4) then 'new' else ''

or 

if (tns:Employee/tns:EmpId = 4) then 'new' else ()
