I will see that? I don't recall seeing what the desired output XML was.
In all your posts in this thread, you have not stated what you're trying
to produce. It is very hard for anyone to help you under these circumstances.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Order>
<Order>
<Info>
<BILL_TO_ADDRESS2>PO BOX 1234</BILL_TO_ADDRESS2>
<PO_NUMBER>123456</PO_NUMBER>
</Info>
</Order>
