IBM has always required that programs close any files they open prior
to freeing the DCB. They are nice in that they attempt to clean up
after programs that break the rules. There was a change decades ago to
maintain a copy of the DCB.

My recollection is that EXIT only gives a C03 if the CLOSE attempt
fails.
