> ## CREATE X-DOCUMENT statement

> Creates a handle for an XML document object. To use the XML document, you must add new nodes using the CREATE-NODE( ) method, the CREATE-NODE-NAMESPACE( ) method, or populate the document from an existing file using the LOAD( ) method.

> Note: To ensure consistency across all nodes in an XML document, use either the CREATE-NODE-NAMESPACE( ) method or the CREATE-NODE( ) method to build an XML document; do not use both methods within a single document.

> #### Syntax

>     CREATE X-DOCUMENT handle [ IN WIDGET-POOL widget-pool-name ]

> ``handle``

> A variable of type HANDLE into which CREATE X-DOCUMENT stores the new handle.

> `IN WIDGET-POOL `widget-pool-name``

> An expression of type CHARACTER that evaluates, at run time, to the name of the widget pool that contains the XML document object.

> Note: Widget pool names are not case-sensitive.

> Example

> The following code fragment depicts creating an XML document object:

>     DEFINE VARIABLE hXdoc AS HANDLE.
>     . . .
>     CREATE X-DOCUMENT hXdoc.
>     . . .
