Hi,


It looks to me like you are using the wrong tool for the job. If
I understand you correctly this is a semantic problem and should be dealt
with as such. Try using and attribute grammar that supports 'sparse'
tables. This will allow you to define the valid semantic mappings and
will vastly simplify the syntax processing. The basic job should only
require about 2,000 lines.


Regards,


Mike
