  01.COBOL symbolics are treated like implicit variables, not
     integer literals.
  02.COBOL parser treats IN/OF following LENGTH as required.
  03.COBOL parser always treats CYCLE like a keyword.
  04.When analyzing a program with multiple nested programs using
     a custom COBOL code rule, reference resolution error
     messages may be issued.
  05.When an extension map does not correctly identify the
     language of specified PDS members, it is difficult for a
     customer to tell whether a scan succeeded with no results or
     if there were no PDS members scanned.
  06.The IDz PL/I Parser incorrectly handled items named "DUMMY".
  07.When there are sections and paragraphs or nested programs in
     the COBOL program, code coverage will not display the
     correct hierarchy and all of the entries. The line numbers
     of the entries may be incorrect.
  08.Enhancement to support for SonarQube exporter
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.Modified COBOL parser to treat symbolics like integer
     literals.
  02.Modified COBOL parser to treat IN/OF following LENGTH as
     optional.
  03.Modified COBOL parser to treat CYCLE like a keyword only in
     the context of an EXIT PERFORM statement.
  04.Modified the code that populates the CAM API model to
     properly handle global symbol references in nested programs.
  05.Added a message to alert a customer when no PDS members have
     been scanned.
  06.Modified parser to correctly handle items named "DUMMY".
  07.The problem is caused by lack of hierarchy maintenance of
     entry points. A tree structure has been added in the code
     coverage results to show parent and child relationship. All
     sections and paragraphs with same names will now be
     displayed correctly. The line number of the entries are also
     corrected.
  08.Enhancement to support for SonarQube exporter
