Not knowing any COBOL, I'm guessing that the RUN command could have been placed on a separate line, and that the STOP command is like a void return in C. The main function is compiled, and the RUN command is back in the "shell" or whatever it is COBOL has. That's my guess anyway.

I expect this stems from the days when programs were run as jobs on large timeshare systems, and the STOP RUN refers to stopping the run of this particular job.
