LOCAL lnIsSoapenv

* First create some XML using namespace prefixed tags.

* Create this XML. 
* Use this online tool to generate the code from sample XML: 
* Generate Code to Create XML

* <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
*    xmlns:scm="http://www.springcm.com/atlas/webservices/v201308/scm/">
*    <soapenv:Header/>
*    <soapenv:Body>
*       <scm:AccountGetCurrent>
*          <scm:token>123</scm:token>
*       </scm:AccountGetCurrent>
*    </soapenv:Body>
* </soapenv:Envelope>

loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
loXml.Tag = "soapenv:Envelope"
loXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:soapenv","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")
loXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:scm","http://www.springcm.com/atlas/webservices/v201308/scm/")
loXml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Header","")
loXml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Body|scm:AccountGetCurrent|scm:token","123")

* Go to the "Body" tag, regardless of namespace prefix.
loXmlBody = loXml.FindChild("*:Body")
IF (loXml.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "Body child not found."
    RELEASE loXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Get the full tag w/ namespace prefix:
* Output is "soapenv:Body"
? loXmlBody.Tag

* Get the namespace prefix:
* Output is "soapenv"
? loXmlBody.TagNsPrefix

* Get the unprefixed tag:
* Output is "Body"
? loXmlBody.TagUnprefixed

* Check to see if the unprefixed tag equals "Body"
lnIsBodyTag = loXmlBody.TagUnpEquals("Body")
? "isBodyTag = " + STR(lnIsBodyTag)

* Check to see if the namespace prefix equals "soapenv";
lnIsSoapenv = loXmlBody.TagNsEquals("soapenv")
? "isSoapenv = " + STR(lnIsSoapenv)

* Change just the namespace prefix of the tag
loXmlBody.TagNsPrefix = "se"
* The tag has changed from "soapenv:Body" to "se:Body"
? loXmlBody.Tag

* Change the unprefixed part of the tag.
loXmlBody.TagUnprefixed = "Bodie"
* The tag has changed from "se:Body" to "se:Bodie"
? loXmlBody.Tag
