  ****************************************************************
  01.IDz's SQL parser is missing support for COUNT(*).
  02.PARAMETER being treated as a hard keyword.
  03.Misspelled PIC clauses caused confusing error messages.
  04.SQLCA references in COBOL programs compiled with STDSQL(YES)
     are not resolved by IDz's COBOL parser.
  05.RDz JCL code review holds large models for each program
     analyzed in memory, so large sets of programs to analyze
     causes memory consumption problems.
  06.The IDz PL/I parser treats %XINCLUDE like %INCLUDE.
  07.IDz's PL/I parser incorrectly handles comments where the '*'
     and '/' characters that end the comment are split across
     different lines.
  08.variable scope was not taking REFER statements into account.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.Added support for COUNT(*) in SQL parser.
  02.Updated PARAMETER to be treated as a soft keyword.
  03.Improved error handling for misspelled PIC clauses.
  04.Modified COBOL parser to resolve SQLCA references when
     compiler option STDSQL(YES) is specified in the associated
     property group or in a CBL statement.
  05.Modified the JCL code review to release program models from
     memory when not in use, thereby reducing overall memory
     consumption.
  06.Modified the PL/I parser to correctly handle %XINCLUDE.
  07.Modified PL/I parser to correctly handle split comments.
  08.Limited the variable scope for REFER statements
