Writing one's own XML is one of the new business problems being
tackled.  So one might have a file containing the description of the
XML to emit rahter than hard-code it inside an RPG program:

MASTER, NAME
PRODUCT,DESC

One needs to write out the XML with the names of the elements and the
contents of the database tables:

<NAME>
  St John-Smythe, James
</NAME>
<PRODUCT>
  Beretta, 9mm
</PRODUCT>

One needs to go out to the MASTER file and retrieve the contents of
the NAME column to put it in the XML file.

Hope this clarifies one possible use for such a request.
