Assuming you have an XML file or string, here is a way to traverse it manually. This example will save it to a cursor with field names similar to the xml nods.

loXML = CREATEOBJECT( "MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0" )
loXML.loadXML( SomeXMLString ) && or loXML.Load ( SomeXMLFile )
loRoot = loXML.documentElement
IF ISNULL( loRoot )
   RETURN 'Invalid XML file'
ENDIF
CREATE CURSOR mycursor ( somefield1 C(10), somefield2 C(8), xmlnode3 C(4) )
append blank
*** field 1
loElement= loRoot.selectSingleNode( "SomeField1" ) && careful, case sensitive
IF ISNULL( loElement )
   COMRETURNERROR( 'YourWebServiceClass', 'SomeField1 node not found' )
ELSE
   IF EMPTY( loElement.Text )
      COMRETURNERROR( 'YourWebServiceClass', 'The field is empty...' )
   else
      replace mycursor.somefield1 with loElement.Text
   endif
ENDIF
*** field 2
loElement= loRoot.selectSingleNode( "SomeField2" )
IF ISNULL( loElement )
   COMRETURNERROR( 'YourWebServiceClass', 'SomeField2 node not found' )
ELSE
   IF EMPTY( loElement.Text )
      COMRETURNERROR( 'YourWebServiceClass', 'The field is empty...' )
   else
      replace mycursor.somefield2 with allt(loElement.Text)
   endif
ENDIF
*** field 3 - this one is under a branch named SomeBranch
loElement= loRoot.selectSingleNode( "SomeBranch/XmlNode3" )
IF ISNULL( loElement )
   COMRETURNERROR( 'YourWebServiceClass', 'node not found' )
ELSE
   IF EMPTY( loElement.Text )
      COMRETURNERROR( 'YourWebServiceClass', 'The field is empty...' )
   else
      replace mycursor.xmlnode3 with loElement.Text
   endif
ENDIF

Also, if you have many records in one xml file or string, you can traverse them with SelectNodes instead of SelectSingleNode. Drop me a line if you need an example of this one.
