XML parse verb won't ignore empty attributes

Dear all,

We just converted our zOS cobol version 4 into Micro Focus COBOL  V6.0 revision 000 on Linux.   the XML PARSE won't accept empty attributes. Do we need to test for xml-text length, or is there a setting to tell the parser to ignore empty attributes?

Thanks James 

I think you are in the wrong forum.  This is for RM/COBOL, which is not Micro Focus COBOL v6.
