The simplest method is to use the SAS LIBNAME XMLV2 engine.  Something like this would work:

filename classXML 'C:\temp\class_data.xml';
libname classXML xmlv2;
proc copy in=sashelp out=classXML;
   select class;
run;
libname classXML clear;
filename classXML clear;

This produces the following XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<TABLE>
   <class>
      <Name>Alfred</Name>
      <Sex>M</Sex>
      <Age>14</Age>
      <Height>69</Height>
      <Weight>112.5</Weight>
   </class>
   <class>
      <Name>Alice</Name>
      <Sex>F</Sex>
      <Age>13</Age>
      <Height>56.5</Height>
      <Weight>84</Weight>
   </class>
</TABLE>
