Data Generation and Export to XML

The script assigns a library named 'test' using the XML engine. It then executes a DATA step to create a 'sample' table containing one observation with static data (name, age, sex, phone, country). Writing to the 'test' library generates or updates the target XML file. Finally, the library is released. Technical note: The path 'c:\test.xml' is specific to Windows and would require adaptation to run correctly on a SAS^© Viya^™ server (usually under Linux).
