<Source XML document>: Character string with quotes

Name of XML document containing the tag that will be inserted into an XML document.

<Insertion position>: Optional Integer constant

Position where the addition is performed in relation to the current tag in <Target XML document>. This parameter can take one of the following values:
XMLPreviousElement The insertion is performed just before the current tag, in the same branch.
XMLNextElement
(Default value) The insertion is performed just after the current tag, in the same branch.
XMLChildItem The insertion is performed in the current level. The inserted part will be a child tag of the current tag.

Remarks

Saving the modifications in the XML file

To save the modifications performed in an XML file, you must:

Use XMLBuildString. This function retrieves and formats the content of an XML document.
Save the character string generated by XMLBuildString in an XML file. To do so, use fSaveText.

Example:

// Once the XML document was modified
XMLSource = XMLBuildString("XMLDoc")
// Save the XML file
fSaveText("ModifiedExample.xml", XMLSource)
