// 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.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 <> .T.) then
    ? "Body child not found."
    release loXml
    return

// 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"
llIsBodyTag = loXmlBody.TagUnpEquals("Body")
? "isBodyTag = " + str(llIsBodyTag)

// Check to see if the namespace prefix equals "soapenv";
llIsSoapenv = loXmlBody.TagNsEquals("soapenv")
? "isSoapenv = " + str(llIsSoapenv)

// 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.
