newlines and no newlines

RecDescent is nice.  I come from antlr land and do not miss the
compile step...

The following grammar parses fine with no intermixed newlines.
It fails with newlines.  E.g.:

c t a b int B  # parses
c t a
b int B        # does not

I do not understand why the second fails.  Insight?
(These were "create table"s, but slimmed for simplicity.)

Thank you,
