Hi!
For Antlr v2 you should define your keywords in a tokens section
rather than defining them in individual rules. Something like:
tokens {
ENDIF = "endif";
THEN = "then";
// ... and the rest of the keywords go here ...
}
Also you want the `options { testLiterals = true; }` phrase on just
the LITERAL rule and not on its protected sub-rules.

Hi John,
I put all my keywords in the tokens section. Now its giving me
this error:
unexpected char: 'i'
at position of if statement. I tried to debug in Antlr Studio, the
control enters the assignmentstmnt instead of the ifstmnt and throws the
error.
Abhijit.
