The top level element has to match the  name in the doctype declaration

XML is case sensitive. STATCODE is not the same element as StatCode.

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE FromQtr1 SYSTEM "MyFirst.dtd">
<FromQtr1>
        <DUID>NJ08020157</DUID>
        <STATCODE>02</STATCODE>
        <FIID>458000</FIID>
        <QEXTYPE>CAI</QEXTYPE>
        <ROC>1.0</ROC>
</FromQtr1>

So, now you have a valid document, you can display it using eiother CSS
or XSL (or indeed a Java applet or whatever you want).

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="myfirst.css"?>
<!DOCTYPE FromQtr1 SYSTEM "MyFirst.dtd">
<FromQtr1>
        <DUID>NJ08020157</DUID>
        <STATCODE>02</STATCODE>
        <FIID>458000</FIID>
        <QEXTYPE>CAI</QEXTYPE>
        <ROC>1.0</ROC>
</FromQtr1>

Now you have a link to a stylesheet in there, so you need a stylesheet,
called myfirst.css:

FromQtrl {display: block; clor: black; background: white; margin: 5%}
DUID, STATCODE,FIID,QEXTYPE,ROC { display: inline }
DUID {color: red; border: thin solid green}
FIID {color: blue }
ROC (color: green }

Without seeing a larger example or knowing what the elements mean, its
difficult to produce a meaningful stylesheet.
