I have used the following queries to extract values, but how do i extract the NonExistingWaybills?

 SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(l_resp_xml,
                    '//ShipmentTrackingResponse/Transaction/Reference1',
                    'xmlns="http://ws.aramex.net/ShippingAPI/v1/"') 
  INTO l_response_result 
   FROM dual;

  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ( 'Result> Reference1=' || l_response_result);

  SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(l_resp_xml,
                     '//ShipmentTrackingResponse/TrackingResults',
                     'xmlns="http://ws.aramex.net/ShippingAPI/v1/"') 
    INTO l_response_result 
    FROM dual;

  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ( 'Result> TrackingResults=' || l_response_result);

  SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(l_resp_xml,
                     '//ShipmentTrackingResponse/NonExistingWaybills',
                     'xmlns="http://ws.aramex.net/ShippingAPI/v1/"') 
    INTO l_response_result 
    FROM dual;

  DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ( 'Result> NonExistingWaybills=' || l_response_result);

The last query gives no result...

It returned results...

SELECT EXTRACTVALUE(l_resp_xml
                  , '//ShipmentTrackingResponse/NonExistingWaybills/node()'
                  , 'xmlns="http://ws.aramex.net/ShippingAPI/v1/"') 
INTO l_response_result
FROM dual;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ( 'Result> NonExistingWaybills=' || l_response_result);
