R. J. W. Housden *

This paper describes an extension to ICL 1900 FORTRAN which provides phrase structures for defining the syntax of data. FORTRAN statements embedded in the syntax definitions define the action to be taken when data is recognised. This extended FORTRAN facilitates the writing of complex input routines in applications programs and in compiler compiler work.
