Here, we've created myXml with root and child nodes using xmlelemnew().

<bx:set myXml = xmlNew() >
<bx:set myXml.XMLROOT = xmlelemnew( myXml, "sampleXml" ) >
<bx:set myXml.SAMPLEXML.XMLTEXT = "This is Root node text" >

xml_secondary_child = XmlElemNew( xml_document, "to" ); // child node for the first child node
