ZUnit: Testing file I/O by specifying only a data set name

zUnit: Preprocessor integration support (for example SWT01 for Cobol)

We have a variety of Cobol programs implemented in SWT01. The scanner of zUnit cannot interpret the SWT01 statements and therefore the test case is aborted/failed already during the creation of the use case.

zUnit does not support DLL
