response.tostring() below:

anytype{schema=anytype{element=anytype{complextype=anytype{choice=anytype{element=anytype{complextype=anytype{sequence=anytype{element=anytype{}; element=anytype{}; }; }; }; }; }; }; }; diffgram=anytype{documentelement=anytype{table=anytype{mst_bloodgroupid=1; bloodgroup_name=a+; }; table=anytype{mst_bloodgroupid=2; bloodgroup_name=a-; }; table=anytype{mst_bloodgroupid=3; bloodgroup_name=b+; }; table=anytype{mst_bloodgroupid=4; bloodgroup_name=b-; }; table=anytype{mst_bloodgroupid=5; bloodgroup_name=ab+; }; table=anytype{mst_bloodgroupid=6; bloodgroup_name=ab-; }; table=anytype{mst_bloodgroupid=7; bloodgroup_name=o+; }; table=anytype{mst_bloodgroupid=8; bloodgroup_name=o-; }; }; }; }
