Problem conclusion

• This type of syntax errors, although reported as a warning
  (because it does not impact directly the analysis, except for a
  statistic counting the number of statements), may cause a larger
  chunk of code to be missing from the analysis, up to the first
  dot ('.'), so although not important for the analysis, needed to
  add syntax support for UOW parameter in the COBOL parser
  grammar.
