&rootDoc = GetBiDoc(""); 
/* add a processing instruction*/ 
&ret = &rootDoc.AddProcessInstruction("<?xml version=""1.0""?>"); 
/* create an element and add text*/ 
&postreqresponse = &rootDoc.CreateElement("postreqresponse"); 
&error = &postreqresponse.CreateElement("error"); 
&errorcode = &error.CreateElement("errorcode"); 
&ret = &errorcode.AddText("1"); 
&errortext = &error.CreateElement("errortext");
