    --  and return the newly created child node:
    DECLARE @childNode int

    EXEC sp_OAMethod @xml, 'NewChild', @childNode OUT, 'xyz', ''

    --  Create a child under childNode, but instead call
    --  NewChild2 which doesn't return the newly created child node:
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @childNode, 'NewChild2', NULL, 'mmm', '123'

    EXEC sp_OAMethod @xml, 'GetXml', @sTmp0 OUT
