Grammar files for PROC USERPROC that are more than 80 characters might be truncated during processing, leading to errors. You might see messages similar to the following:

postproc: no parse tables were generated 
postproc: aborted 

The problem occurs when PROC USERPROC copies the grammar file to a temporary utility file and truncates the lines at 80 characters. Grammar lines that exceed 80 characters might look similar to this example:

VARSTMT = 
    @STMTPROC 
    @STMTLIST(13,1) "VARK" (ONEVAR (("/" ONEVAR @LISTVAL(6,1)) | @LISTVAL(6,0)))+

To avoid this problem, make sure that grammar statements do not exceed 80 characters on any given line. For example, to correct the previous statement, use this instead:

VARSTMT = 
    @STMTPROC 
    @STMTLIST(13,1) "VARK" 
     (ONEVAR (("/" ONEVAR @LISTVAL(6,1)) | @LISTVAL(6,0)))+

A fix for this issue is planned for a future software release.
