I am trying to parse XML using ASP and some of the data is invalid. The xml schema document shows that the data should be integer, but the data contains a bunch of 'NA' s when there is no data available. I have no control over the data, what can I do to avoid throwing this error? The exact error is: Error parsing 'NA' as integer datatype. The element: 'score' has an invalid value according to its data type. -1072897660 Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8' Object required: ''
