Abstract
We proposed a new approach for the construction of grammars and parsers for existing languages. The approach is both very powerful and simple. We provided a structured process and explained our methods in detail so that others can apply our ideas for their own grammar construction activities. We illustrated the proposed approach with a nontrivial case study. Using our process, we constructed in a few weeks a complete and correct VS COBOL II grammar specification for IBM mainframes. We not only constructed a parser for it, but also published a web-enabled grammar specification so that others can use this result to conveniently construct their own grammar-based tools for VS COBOL II, or derivatives.
