ABAP_DESCRIPTION Using a token parser>, XML is parsed directly to the attribute TOKENS> with the type SIXMLDOM>. The nodes for the attributes are then removed. The modified table is passed to a token renderer. The result is the XML data without attributes. Instead of removing the attributes in the ABAP class, the value of if_ixml_token_parser=>co_tk_attribute> can simply be subtracted from the actual parameter for tk_mask>. The parser then does not place the attributes in the internal table.
