You don't need the XML declaration - MX's XML functions only require
that the document be well-formed. But you do need to enclose your
variable name in <cfoutput> tags:
<cfxml variable="xmlDocument">#qry_GetXML.xmlDocument#</cfxml>
will fail, but
<cfxml variable="xmlDocument">
<cfoutput>#qry_GetXML.xmlDocument#</cfoutput>
</cfxml>
will work.
Alternatively, you could do:
<cfset xmlDocument = xmlparse(qry_GetXML.xmlDocument)>
which is a lot cleaner.
Best wishes
Tom
