  ****************************************************************
  01.COBOL continuation characters not properly handled.
  02.Multiple INCLUDE statements within a EXEC SQL statement
     causes error
  03.The code review application for z/OS execution time for
     large copy libraries is significantly longer than for small
     copy libraries.
  04."An inline PERFORM statement cannot exceed the specified
     line number limit" code review rule can miscount the number
     of lines in an inline PERFORM.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.Modified COBOL parser to properly handle continuation
     characters.
  02.Modified parser to handle nested EXEC SQL INCLUDE
     statements.
  03.Modified the code that searches copy libraries for copy
     books to cache the location of copybooks that are found,
     reducing the amount of searching that the application needs
     to do.
  04.Modified the rule so that it correctly counts the lines in
     an inline PERFORM.
