VS COBOL II grammar Version 1.0.3

Copyright (C) 1999-2000 Ralf Lämmel (CWI, Amsterdam) & Chris Verhoef (WINS, Universiteit van Amsterdam)

This grammar has been been recovered from IBM's VS COBOL II Reference Summary (Document Number: SX26-3721-05) in a semi-automatic, formal process. In this unique process, many problems in the IBM document have been detected and fixed in a traceable way. The process is described by the authors of the grammar in the paper Semi-automatic Grammar Recovery (HTML, Postscript, Pdf). The process builds upon previous work of the authors in the field of program transformation, reverse engineering and specification environments. Note that the grammar should be regarded as a specification (of context-free syntax + lexical syntax) rather than a realistic parser + scanner description. So, for example, issues usually handled by a pre-processor are not covered by the formal definition. Also, the grammar specification is still ambigious. However, from this grammar we automatically derived a prototype parser. The grammar has been tested for large test sets of COBOL code: 8 test sets from different countries with 1.819.765 LOC (before preprocessing: 1.631.825) or 109.697.736 BYTES (before preprocessing: 113.481.950).

If you have any remark or a question, contact the authors of this grammar: Ralf Lämmel (CWI, Amsterdam, Email: ralf@cwi.nl) & Chris Verhoef (WINS, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Email: x@wins.uva.nl). This is Version 1.0.3 of the grammar. It has been released on May, 2nd, 2000. Version 1.0 (i.e., the first version) of the grammar has been released on December, 3rd, 1999. Refer to the ChangeLog for details. This document is maintained by Ralf Lämmel.

Acknowledgement
Many thanks to Bob Diertens for helping us with preprocessing the test sets. Many thanks to Peter Aarnoutse for the answers to our COBOL questions. The system LDL supporting language-centric software protoyping has been used for nearly all aspects of specification/implementation in this project, namely grammar recovery, parsing test sets, generation of the actual browsable grammar.

Summary


Context-free syntax

The following rules define the context-free syntax of VS COBOL II using a variant of EBNF (Extended Backus Naur Form). Details of the notation (such as the special infix operator "||" for permutation phrases) are explained elsewhere. The start symbol of the context-free grammar is cobol-source-program. All sorts on right-hand sides are linked to the corresponding definitions, whereas the sorts on the left-hand sides are linked to the table of all sorts which is useful to navigate to the use sites of a sort.

This lexical definition is written using some standard notation for regular expressions in the spirit of the LEX notation. Details of the notation are explained elsewhere.

Top sorts

There are two top sorts. cobol-source-program is the actual start symbol of the grammar, whereas compiler-directing-statement is the top rule for compiler directing statement such as the COPY statement. The latter top sort is not eliminated because we assume that compiler directing statements are handled during preprocessing anyway and there is no sensible way to connect compiler directing statements with the actual context-free syntax of COBOL programs. Details of the terminology used (top sorts, bottom sorts etc.) are explained elsewhere.


Bottom sorts

There are no bottom sorts because we eliminated them in a process of completing and correcting. We eliminated all bottom sorts by connecting used and defined sorts, by providing context-free or lexical productions. Details of the terminology used (top sorts, bottom sorts etc.) are explained elsewhere.


Keywords

In the table below all the keywords used in the grammar are listed in alphabetical order. For each keyword all the use sites are listed. Note that most but not all keywords are reserved words in the sense of COBOL. The navigation bar below allows you to go directly to those keywords starting with a certain letter. There are no keywords starting with X and Y. Tokens which do not start with a letter are listed at the beginning of the table.

Diagrams

The diagrams below visualize the context-free syntax using a variant of syntax diagrams. Details of this notation are explained elsewhere. We just want to point out that there is a special notation for permutation phrases in order to express that order is immaterial. Therefore, phrases are stacked using vertical lines based on double bars ("||"). All sorts in the diagrams are linked to the corresponding definitions, whereas the section headers (i.e., the sorts defined by the actual diagrams) are linked to the table of all sorts which is useful to navigate to the use sites of a sort.
