Implementing %INCLUDE in flex

Actually developing a parser for PL/I in flex & yacc. The problem is
with the implementation for % INCLUDE statements. Tried to do something
similar to what is given in flex manual. But some problems arise with
that usage.


Actually the scanner reads "end of buffer or a NUL" inbetween the main
file where there is no end of file. Actually this problem arises on line
nos. that depend on where the INCLUDE statement is present. It occurs on
a line which is few lines after the INCLUDE statement. The Included file
is opened & parsed correctly!!! If i place the INCLUDE statement towards
the end of the program then the program is successfully parsed!!!!!


Is there a problem of some buffer size???


Help is required urgently!!!


Thanks in advance.
