Proposed changes

This PR adds a hands-on exercise to the lab 8.6 involving CBL0006 and CBL0006J. The original program counts clients from Virginia. This exercise challenges learners to update the logic to count clients from a different state (e.g., New York), encouraging deeper understanding of conditional filtering, working-storage layout, and output formatting in COBOL.

The goal is to move students away from simple copy-paste behavior and encourage them to read, reason, and modify code thoughtfully. Lab hints and complete solution code (CBL0006C) have been included.
