@45118 - recreate:
The following Progress 4GL code compiles in Progress but fails in the P2J parser:
define menu my-popup-menu
menu-item m-one label "One"
menu-item m-two label "Two".
menu-item m-three label "Three".
...
on choose of menu-item m-three in menu my-popup-menu
do:
/* something */
end.
...
assign my-browse:popup-menu in frame my-frame = menu my-popup-menu:handle.
Notice the extra "." character in the format phrase for the m-two widget. The following code is not a valid standalone statement or expression, but it doesn't fail in the 4GL.

@45119 - addl info:
The customer confirmed that the menu in fact does appear when the code is run. This means that the period character in this case is just ignored. The parser was modified accordingly, to check if the LA(2) token is a MENU-ITEM and if so to consume a DOT that is LA(1). This appears to be what Progress does. The change only affects the DEFINE MENU parsing.
