Help required in Transformations (XML Conversion)

Question

Hi All,
Iam using transformations for reading the data from XML to Internal tables. Everything is working fine.
Here my question is, If some tags are missing in the XML file, program is giving error 'TAG XXX is missing'.
I dont want to get this error, if any tag is missing program should take the blank value instead of raising the error.
Please help. thanks.
Regards,
Sreedhar
