Reading order status from backend

Question

Hello,
we're facing some issues with our WebService for a simple order status. It should be possible to get the status of more than 1 order, so the Export-DT should look something like this:
<order vbeln="123">
   <status>C</status>
   <positions>
      <pos nr="010">
          <matnr="9876" />
          <maktx="ProdName" />
      </pos>
   </positions>
</order>
<order vbeln="456">
   <status>C</status>
   <positions>
      <pos nr="010">
          <matnr="9876" />
          <maktx="ProdName" />
      </pos>
      <pos nr="020">
          <matnr="456" />
          <maktx="ProdName2" />
      </pos>
   </positions>
</order>
As you can see there are n>1 orders and n>=1 positions per order. So each position should be a nested table within the order table. But this is actually not allowed to be defined within an BAPI. We only can get the positions and orders in separate tables. Is there a possibilty to match this together?
I hope I described it understandable and any help will be appriciated.
Many thanks and regards
