  ****************************************************************
  01.Misspelled PIC clauses had the potential to highlight more
     of the PIC clause than desired
  02.SQLCA references in COBOL programs compiled with STDSQL(YES)
     are not resolved by IDz's COBOL parser.
  03.CAM model population code incorrectly handled some WHEN
     expressions.
  04.RDz JCL code review holds large models for each program
     analyzed in memory, so large sets of programs to analyze
     causes memory consumption problems.
  05.In some situations, IDz's COBOL editor can appear to lose
     track of a syntax error.
  06.PIC clauses containing replacements could be parsed
     incorrectly.
  07.Support for UCTRAN and NOUCTRAN options were not included in
     the parsing code.
  08.The IDz PL/I Parser incorrectly handled items named "DUMMY".
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.The error for a misspelled PIC clause is now more contained
  02.Modified COBOL parser to resolve SQLCA references when
     compiler option STDSQL(YES) is specified in the associated
     property group or in a CBL statement.
  03.Modified CAM population code to correctly handle WHEN
     expressions.
  04.Modified the JCL code review to release program models from
     memory when not in use, thereby reducing overall memory
     consumption.
  05.Modified COBOL parser to correctly handle syntax errors in
     relevant situations.
  06.Modified parsing of PIC clauses to correctly handle
     replacements.
  07.Added support for UCTRAN and NOUCTRAN options
  08.Modified parser to correctly handle items named "DUMMY".
