VMS COBOL to ILE COBOL is easy _except_ for the screen handling. If it is all batch no problem. If it uses CICS it translates fairy easily to CICS/400 - if it is ISPF then that is tough.
There are tools out there - but not free. Haven't been involved with that scene for about 15 years so the names have changed. Suggest you post this ? on the COBOL400 list - lots of ex-mainframers there - some of whom must have converted.
DCL conversion to modern CL is not too bad - again the tools that do the migration usually include this.
Basic - probably the closest conversion these days would be to PHP - but even if you had basic still on the box it wouldn't map that well - I seem to remember problems with MF conversions with the old BASIC. Maybe there is a basic that would run in PASE

Just acquired open VMS system(s). Are there any
preferred tools with which I can assimilate DCL, VMS COBOL, VMS BASIC,
etc. into an ISeries environment? Thanks.
