Now, I say that, but I think that BNF and EBNF can do it, just that I didn't 
see it. (-:

Aihe: Re: strange request: EBNF desc of JCL?

I don't think you'll need EBNF to describe JCL; as languages go, it's fairly 
primitive. Standard BNF forms should handle it just fine. (I've never 
worked with EBNF, so I'm not sure about that, though.)
