Create Root Element in XML

Question

Hi Experts,
I am develpoing a program to generate xml file as output. I am using the method CL_IXML and other interfaces to generate the xml data. Here I need to create a root element. I did search in SDN but I couldnot found anything to generate xml root element.
My output should be like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Request Version="11.1" IssuerID="1">
        <CreatePurchaseRequest
            RequestID="123456"
            Commonname="test"
        </CreatePurchaseRequest>
</Request>
Can anybody plz suggest how can I generate the root element Request here?
Regards,
Ranganadh.

Thanks Sandra,
My issue got resolved.
I just created the root element using the method create_sample_element and set the attributes using set_attributes method.
Thanks for your help.
w_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
      w_document = w_ixml->create_document( ).
      w_root = w_ixml->create_document( ).
      IF w_document IS INITIAL.
        RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE cx_cmx_da_exception
          EXPORTING
            textid = cx_cmx_da_exception=>cx_cmx_da_error_internal.
      ENDIF.
      w_encoding = w_ixml->create_encoding(
                             character_set = 'utf-8'
                             byte_order    = if_ixml_encoding=>co_none ).
      w_document->set_encoding( w_encoding ).
      w_element_inv1  = w_document->create_simple_element(
                  name = 'OrbiscomRequest'
                  parent = w_document ).
      w_element_inv1->set_attribute( name = 'Version'
                                     namespace = ''
                                     value = '11.1' ).
      w_element_inv1->set_attribute( name = 'IssuerID'
                                     namespace = ''
                                     value = '1' ).
