    FM-LoadModule Analyzer should extract SQL SubOptions when listing CompilerOptions

    When using the FM-LoadModule-Analyzer, we can list the compiler options of the load modules. If the program uses SQL, we see "SQL" as COBOL-option, but not the used SubOption. We need it specially for recognizing the ATTACH(TSO/CAF/ULI)-Option. So...
