Retrieve the parent node of the node. The first parameter must be a valid X-noderef handle and will refer to the parent XML node if the node has a parent. If the node is the top "root" element in the document, the method will fail, and the X-noderef handle will not refer to a node.

Return type: LOGICAL

Applies to: X-noderef object handle
