[comp.sources.wanted] grammar for cobol

mjeske@support.UUCP (USR-Mark Jeske) (05/02/91)

Does anyone have a grammar for cobol (any cobol)?  A lex/yacc 
specification would be great.

thanks,
mark

  You might want to see the discussion going on about lex/yacc and
its non-suitability for use a parser generator for COBOL. If such 
critters exist, they are probably proprietary.
