  01.Software Analysis wrongly marks COMP-5 as violation of "Use
     binary subscripts" rule.
  02.EXEC SQL statements are not correctly modeled in the Data
     Division for custom COBOL code review rules.
  03.The PL/I rule "Use INITIAL with STATIC data declarations"
     ignores levels and will incorrectly mark a static data
     declaration when all of its sublevels are initialized.
  04.A defect in the "Avoid FIXED DECIMAL delcarations with even
     precision" rule logic marked fixed binary declarations with
     even precision as rule violations.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.Modified rule logic to make sure COMP-5 variables are
     recognized as binary.
  02.Modified the UI to add ExecSqlStmt to the DataDivision in
     the COBOL element tree in the wizard for creating custom
     COBOL code review rules. Modified model population code to
     make sure data division EXEC SQL statements are correctly
     modeled.
  03.Modified the PL/I rule "Use INITIAL with STATIC data
     declarations" to not mark a static data declaration that has
     all of its sublevels initialized.
  04.Fixed rule logic to avoid marking binary items as rule
     violations.
