Can we prevent the ABEND C03 even if all the files are not properly closed?

Answer

Yes.

During Language Environment termination, any files left open by VS COBOL II, COBOL/370 or COBOL for MVS & VM programs are automatically closed. It does NOT close files left open by OS/VS COBOL or assembler programs.
