We have been using Lex and Yacc to build parsers in C that we are
trying to port to the IBM MVS and CMS environments. It seems as though
the code produced by Lex and Yacc is not easily transportable for
the following reasons:
1) the change in character set, ASCII-EBCDIC.
2) the young SAS Lattice C compiler still has some bugs.
We are going to try the Watcom MVS C compiler in the near future.
We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has attempted this
before, or from anyone about other MVS or CMS compilers, or
alternatives to Lex and Yacc for building parsers in C.
please send replies to:
