Tools (beyond IBM's "Migration Assistant")  include ESX ProStart and Quantum.
 Some things to watch for are programs utilizing KEYBOARD files, OCL
statements that were supported from the /34 that are no longer supported in
the /36E, files with record address sorts needing another byte, display
programs that never had their buffers sequenced "exactly" (Decimal Data
Errors), WSU and DFU programs...
