Discussion
Every XML element is represented by a start tag and an end tag delimiting its text and/or children. For example, if the start and end tags are <time> and </time>, the tag name is time. %XML_ELEM_GETNAME retrieves the tag name for the specified element instance.
This function is defined as ^VAL.
Examples
xcall xml_elem_getName(root, tagName)
