Dynamic element specification in CALL TRANSFORMATION

I am using call transformation to convert XML to ABAP structure.

call transformation demo_id_upper_lower "id 
parameters mode = 'UP' 
source xml asxml_str 
result paymentrequest = abap_out.

This works as expected and the data is mapped to ABAP structure successfully. paymentrequest is the root tag ins this example.

Is there a way to specify a variable containing the tag name instead of the tag directly in the result?

data(my_var) = 'paymentrequest'. 

call transformation demo_id_upper_lower "id 
parameters mode = 'UP' 
source xml asxml_str 
result my_var = abap_out.

In this case there's no exception but variable is not resolved to value and I think it reads it literally.

Note: I have also tried assigning the element name to a field symbol. But that too didn't work.

There's this answer to your question, in this other ABAP forum.

data(res_tab) = value abap_trans_resbind_tab( ( name = root value = ref #( abap_out ) ) ).

call transformation demo_id_upper_lower "id
      parameters mode = 'UP'
      source xml asxml_str
      result (res_tab).

if result_tab is not initial.
   read table result_tab into data(result_wa) index 1.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
     assign result_wa-value->* to field-symbol(<abap_out>).
      if <abap_out> is assigned.
        abap_out = <abap_out>.
      endif.
     endif.
   endif.

Note, that the code given in this forum implements my very first "comment" two days ago, cf RESULT (rtab) in the ABAP documentation of CALL TRANSFORMATION.
