Question

I following the antlr tutorial and write exactly same code as tutorial says .but when I try to add

$channel = HIDDEN;

it keep give me error like

Multiple markers:
-(100): syntax error: antlr: MissingTokenException(inserted [@-1,0:0='<missing RPAREN>',<69>,22:41] 
 at channel)
-(100): syntax error: antlr: NoViableAltException(86@[])
-(100): syntax error: antlr: NoViableAltException(75@[])

under the red error bar of ‘$channel’ ,and

(100): syntax error: antlr: MissingTokenException(inserted [@-1,0:0='<missing EOF>',<-1>,22:58] 
 at ))

under the red error bar of ‘;’

this is the code:

grammar Sample;

options {
  language = Java;
}

@header {
  package a.b.c;
}

@lexer::header {
  package a.b.c;
}

programe
    :   'program' IDENT '=' 
        'begin'
        'end' IDENT '.'
    ;

IDENT:'a'..'z'+;
WS : (' '| 't' | '\n' | '\r' | 'f' )+ ($channel = HIDDEN;); 

and this is the error message when I try to save it

error(100): /ANTLR 3.x Tutorial/src/sample/Sample.g:22:40: syntax error: antlr: NoViableAltException(86@[])
 |---> WS : (' '| 't' | '\n' | '\r' | 'f' )+ ($channel = HIDDEN;);
