I think this is DEC VMS, not IBM VM.

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

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
