Is this works for you:

CLEAR
SET ASSERTS ON
create cursor period ;
    (QUARTER        c(10), ;
     YEAR           c(10) ;
    )

create cursor PERIOD1 ;
    (MONTH        c(10), ;
     YEAR         c(10) ;
    )

    insert into PERIOD values('1', '10')
    insert into PERIOD values('2', '20')

    insert into PERIOD1 values('11', '11')
    insert into PERIOD1 values('12', '21')

    local xml, i, s
    xml = createobject('xmladapter')

    =xml.AddTableSchema('period')
    =xml.AddTableSchema('PERIOD1',.T.,STRCONV([PERIOD],12))
    xml.xmlSchemalocation=''
    ? xml.ToXml('s',[],.t.)

You have both but if you don't use case sensitive parsing after that :-)
