Question 11

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.
