Is JCL LALR(1) ? If not, I believe you will have to use a different parser generator, perhaps ANTLR.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 9:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: JCL parser Just to prove that I am indeed insane, I am attempting to write a JCL parser using the "flex" (lexical analyzer generator) and "bison" (parser generator) programs on Linux. Again, this is just so that I can learn how to use those tools, not for anything necessarily productive. However, on the off chance that I actually succeed, does anybody think that donating this to the CBT would be worth while? If so, what should the parser output be? I was thinking either a tree structure which describes the JCL, or maybe the JCL converted to an XML format output. What say ye? -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: An EIN stein.
