Increase precision of counters for RACF commands in the REPORT VERBOSE/TERSE command when using RACF-Offline

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

RACF-offline provides the REPORT VERBOSE/TERSE command to include a summary of RACF commands issued as part of the RACF-Offline session. Currently the precision is 16 bits which means that any RACF command issued more than 65,535 times will have the counter value with incorrect value. By instance if you issue 80,000 CONNECT commands, the CONNECT counter will show 14,465 (which is 80,000 - 65,535).
