Summary: Microsoft COBOL Compiler Versions 3.0 and 3.0a do not stop the compile process when CTRL+C is pressed. However, the CTRL+BREAK key combination followed by an ENTER key aborts the compile process before completion. This is an undocumented feature that should be added to the “Microsoft COBOL Compiler Version 3.0: Operating Guide” (such as in Chapter 2 “Compiling Your Program”).
