GetBNF method

Gets the current Backus-Naur Form (BNF) grammar of the Qlik engine scripting language. The BNF rules define the syntax for the script statements and the script or chart functions. In the Qlik engine BNF grammar, a token is a string of one or more characters that is significant as a group. For example, a token could be a function name, a number, a letter, a parenthesis, and so on.
