I doubt that it's possible with the XML Writer, but you can do it with a before-stage (or after-stage) subroutine, depending on where you want the extra information.
The easiest way is to invoke the subroutine that executes an operating system command (ExecSH on UNIX, ExecDOS on Windows), and execute an echo command. For example:
echo <TOTAL>#RecordCount#</TOTAL> >> #FileName#
(In this example I have shown RecordCount and FileName as job parameters; you can modify the technique to use variables and other mechanisms. Similarly, you could write your own subroutine that used the WriteSeq statement to add the information to the file.
