Files would have to be converted to db files externally described instead
of flat files

OCL would have to be converted to CL--and some logic changes made--no-sorts-
logical files instead--etc.

Lastly, the programs themselves would or should be changed to RPG400 or ILE.

The questions, as always, is time, cost,  and are the benefits worth it.
