how to access the attribute of child node

Uday,

now i have changed my coding as

lr_node_contacts = wd_context->path_get_node( 'CUSTOMER.CONTACTS' ).

lr_node_contacts->set_attribute( exporting name = 'EMAIL_ID'
                                                value = 'siva.palaniswamy' ).

and trying to bind its value to another table using following code

node->Bind_table( new_items = lr_node_contacts ).

But am getting the syntax error as

LR_NODE_CONTACTS is not compatible with NEW_ITEMS ,,,

thanks,

Siva
