SAX-attributes object handle

Contains the attribute values of an XML element in a SAX-reader object. The purpose of the object is to hold values needed by the SAX parser to set the attribute values of a new XML element as it adds the element to a SAX-reader object. As such, the object is automatically created when the SAX-reader PARSE( ) method calls the START-ELEMENT callback procedure. The SAX-attributes object is destroyed when the START-ELEMENT callback completes.

Because the SAX-attributes object exists for a short scope, you cannot access the object before or after the life-cycle of the START-ELEMENT callback. For this reason, you should create data elements with a longer scope if you need to save values from a SAX-attributes object.
