Question

i have the below peice of code (following on for my earlier question SQL How to list Columns in a Table as a Cursor Statement)

select 
    (select * from
        (select Narrative 
         from OfficeClientLedger
         where ptMatter=$Matter$ and ptTrans = 4) 
     as Disbursments for xml auto)

Which returns

<OFFICECLIENTLEDGER NARRATIVE="M0604/20 Cwm Taff NHS Trust Medical Records (C)"/><OFFICECLIENTLEDGER NARRATIVE="M0604/210 Dr Purby Medeical Records (C)"/><OFFICECLIENTLEDGER NARRATIVE="M0604.20 Orchid Cellmark tld Fee"/><OFFICECLIENTLEDGER NARRATIVE="M0604/20 Parsons Dowd Psychological Ltd Assessment Fees"/><OFFICECLIENTLEDGER NARRATIVE="M0604/20 Dr R  Oretti Drug testing"/><OFFICECLIENTLEDGER NARRATIVE="M0604/20 Correction of MIssposting CQ 013524"/><OFFICECLIENTLEDGER NARRATIVE="M0604/20 Helen Blackler Assessment Fees (P) "/> 

However, I need it to bring me a list such as

M0604/20 Cwm Taff NHS Trust Medical
Records (C)

M0604/210 Dr Purby Medeical Records
(C)

M0604.20 Orchid Cellmark tld Fee

M0604/20 Parsons Dowd

M0604/20 Dr R Oretti Drug testing

M0604/20 Correction of MIssposting CQ
013524

M0604/20 Helen Blackler Assessment
Fees (P)

any ideas? thanks
