  *                 that are SQL separators but not COBOL        *

  ****************************************************************
  The COBOL compiler was tokenizing SQL statements according to
  COBOL language rules instead of SQL language rules, which are
  slightly different.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to properly process SQL language
  separators in embedded SQL statements.
