[MIB Designer] MIB systax check confusion on IMPORTS

[Frank Fock]

These 1502 errors are caused by the invalid SEQUENCE clauses.
The compiler treats SEQUENCE clauses as integral part of a SMI
table definition. This behavior is different from an ASN.1
parser, but consistent with the SMI semantics.

When the table definition is incomplete/incorrect the table
object itself will not be "registered" and thus all objects
below that node in the MIB tree cannot be registered because
they refer to the table object.

That is what is happening below. I do not think that this
is related to the IMPORTS clause.

Best regards,
Frank

> I have the following error messages that shows one of the IMPORT statements has not been fully processed. Is this perhaps because of the 2 other errors later in the MIB? They are both Table row lists, where the final row has a trailing comma. Wrong of course, but should that blow off an IMPORT? The first adIdentity import works for the Module Identity clause, the the 2 others remain undefined. Some of the errors are from subsequent derivatives since the first OBJECT IDENTIFIER definition failed. I can send the whole MIB if needed.
