#14 "not all input was consumed": parsing of (optional) comma

[Simon Sobisch]

weird but valid code :-) like

01 filler pic x(01).
   88  weirdo value '1', 'A' 'U',.

--> ',' is always optional in COBOL, it doesn't matter if you have none or 20 of them.

I suggest to simply skip all ','

So where should we look for a fix? I guess it's somewhere in the preprocessing where ',' has to be ingnored?

CobolParser is already filtering those out (line 374) so the parser doesn't have to see them. My guess is that in your example there is something going wrong with the basic tokenization. It's probably treating ',.' as a single token...

If you play with the log4j properties a bit to expose the tokenizer stages you should be able to verify this assumption.
