It looks to me like the test needs to wrap the page sequence. That way, if there are any occurrences of CodeDecode they are written in a page sequence, otherwise no page is writte (empty or otherwise).
<xsl:if test="0 < count(CodeDecode)"> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="page3"> <fo:flow flow-name="body3"> <xsl:apply-templates select="CodeDecode"/> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </xsl:if> Does that make sense?
