Code:
awk 'BEGIN { FS="[<>]";      OFS=",";s1="\""         }
# Single close-tag
(NF==3) && /^[ \t]*<[/]/        {
         $0=""
         if(!TITLE)      # Print a title line
        {
                for(N=1; N<=L; N++)     $N=T[N]
                print
                TITLE=1
        }
         for(N=1; N<=L; N++)     {       $N=s1 A[T[N]] s1;     delete A[T[N]]  }
        print 
         }
 $2 && $4 && ($2 == substr($4, 2)) {
        if(!T[$2]) { T[$2]=++L; T[L]=$2 }       # Save titles for later
        gsub(/^[ \t]*/, "", $3);                # Get rid of spaces in data
        gsub(/[ \t]*$/, "", $3);
        A[$2]=$3                                # Save for later
}'   Input_file

Output will be as follows.
Code:
workOrderCode,branchCode,demand,demandLineItem,priority,completionDate
"313194073","2021:1206","","","","2016-07-10T08:00:00"

Above has been tested with your provided Input_file, if you have more things to do then please mention into your post with complete details.

Thanks,

Hi,

When I use the above code it shows like below

Code:
awk -f jobxml.awk WorkOrders.xml

Code:
awk: jobxml.awk:1: awk 'BEGIN { FS="[<>]";      OFS=",";s1="\""         }
awk: jobxml.awk:1:     ^ invalid char ''' in expression

Thanks,
Viswa

gjots2docbook

GJOTS2DOCBOOK(1)					      General Commands Manual						  GJOTS2DOCBOOK(1)

NAME

       gjots2docbook - Convert a gjotsfile to DOCBOOK (on stdout)

SYNOPSIS

       gjots2docbook -a|-b [ -e ] [ -P ] [ -p ] [ gjotsfile ]

DESCRIPTION

       gjots2docbook converts a gjotsfile into DOCBOOK XML.

       gjots2docbook uses awk(1) to perform the conversion.

       gjots2docbook  does not create them so the first element in the file should contain any <bookinfo> or <artheader> element. Similarly, <bib-
       liographic> elements are not created. In fact the output is very simplistic with item titles in the gjotsfile being converted to chapter or
       section headings in DOCBOOK. There is no reason why your gjotsfile should not contain valid DOCBOOK XML - and that is why the -e and -p op-
       tions are provided.

       If the file does not start with <?xml ...> then appropriate lines will be added as follows:

	      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	      <!DOCTYPE doc_type PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN">

       If properly installed, the docbook utilities can then be used to create HTML, man, ps, pdf etc files eg:

	      gjots2docbook -b ~/.gjotsfile >gjotsfile.xml
	      docbook2pdf gjotsfile.xml

       It may be necessary to fine-tune the docbook formatting to access all features.

OPTIONS

       -a     makes a DOCBOOK article

       -b     makes a DOCBOOK book

       -e     don't encode special characters eg < -> &lt;

       -p     don't change blank lines to </para><para> markers

       -P     first section is a preface rather than a chapter (book only)
