Thanks. One more question

I have so many keywords for dbms query like

DbmsKeyWords: ('sql'|'insert'|'into'|'values'|'delete'|'update'|'set'|'select'|'distinct'|'from'|'where'|'exists'|'in'|'is'|'any'|'all'|'some'|'and' |'or'|'left'|'right'|'inner'|'outer'|'join'
|'char'|'datetime'|'float'|'int'|'long'|'create'|'table'|'database'|'drop'|'between'| 'group by'|'having'|'like'| 'escape'|'order'|'asc'|'desc'|'not'|'null'|'avg'|'min'|'max'
|'sum'|'primary'|'foreign'|'key'|'references'|'like'|'escape'|'with'|'engine'|'close'|'column_names'| 'connection'|'close_all_connections'|'declare'|'cursors'|'continue'|'execute'|'cursor'
|'using'|'rpc'|'alias'|'binary'|'catquery'| 'to'|'separator' |'heading'| 'on'|'off'|'column'|'names'|'format'|'occur'|'start'|'unique'|'connected'|'continue_bottom'|'continue_down'|
'continue_top'|'continue_up'|'store'|'file'|'onentry'|'onerror'| 'onexit'|'application' |'autocommit'|'begin'|'browse'|'cancel'|'commit'|'completion'|'run'|'rollback'|'user'|'database'|
'datasource'|'server'|'procedure'|'stored_sub'|'save'|'flush'|'timeout'|'transaction');

Parser compiling fine the above rule but if I use the above rule inside other like

DbmsStmt: 'dbms' (dbmsKeyWords+=DbmsKeyWords)+ & (exp+=Expression); it is not working. Can you please tell me how to achieve it?

Example for DBMS queries:

DBMS WITH CURSOR b1133_in_exec EXECUTE
DBMS CLOSE CURSOR b1133_in_exec

DBMS SQL CREATE TEMP TABLE complaint_errors ( batch_id CHAR (20), \
iss_agency_cd CHAR (3) , \
officer_id CHAR (5) , \
compl_nbr CHAR (11), \
def_name CHAR (50), \
chrg_nbr CHAR (2) , \
field_name CHAR (36), \
error_message CHAR (50), \
reject_ind CHAR (1), \
message_id CHAR (10)) \
WITH NO LOG


DBMS DECLARE get_dummy CURSOR FOR \
SELECT parm_val_int dummy_per\
FROM parameters WHERE parm_nbr = 29
DBMS WITH CURSOR get_dummy EXECUTE
DBMS CLOSE CURSOR get_dummy

b1133_db_table_name = "INTERNAL_EVENT"
DBMS DECLARE get_event CURSOR FOR \
SELECT event_cd b1133_event_cd\
FROM internal_event \
WHERE process_id = "BPS1133" \
AND internal_event_id = 4
DBMS WITH CURSOR get_event EXECUTE
DBMS CLOSE CURSOR get_event

The keywords like DBMS, WITH, CURSOR etc should be displayed keyword color.

is this a question on syntax coloring or about parse errors.

please give a complete minimal grammar and example that reproduces your problem

I don't know what term should I use. But my simple question is I have a dbms query as for example:

DBMS SQL CREATE TEMP TABLE complaint_errors ( batch_id CHAR (20), \
iss_agency_cd CHAR (3) , \
officer_id CHAR (5) , \
compl_nbr CHAR (11), \
def_name CHAR (50), \
chrg_nbr CHAR (2) , \
field_name CHAR (36), \
error_message CHAR (50), \
reject_ind CHAR (1), \
message_id CHAR (10)) \
WITH NO LOG

Here in the above grammar I want show DBMS, SQL, CREATE, TEMP, TABLE, CHAR, WITH, NO, LOG as keywords.

I tried as shown in above comment and also used terminal rule. No luck.

Please find the attached grammar file for dbms.

well that is not what i call a minimal grammar.

then your grammar does not built at all due ambiguity. i assume you have enabled backtracking.
and ignoreCase as well.

then the DbmsStmt rule is nowhere called.
thus you cannot expect it wo work

i assue it goes into Statements alternatives.

but as said: in this grammar there is way too much stuff to tackle down the problem.

Yes you are right I enabled ignoreCase. So what should I do in this case? Sugeestions?

id stongly recommend to create a new play project with a minimal grammar reproducing the problem

Hi,

i do not have the time and mood to fix your complete grammar.
it has too many problems to takle down at once.
thus the only thing i can do i to offer your help on a stripped down example.
this example would help you to understand your problem better.
and you should not introduce new stuff into a grammar that is already "exploding".

=> solve your problems step by step.
