Simple answer to your question: You really don't care. Its not worth
doing. Guaranteed. Rewrite that program from scratch.
Your last sentence says it all. Even if there is a resource, and you
use it, the next guy to work on this stuff will have to reinvent the
same wheel. Its just not a useful use of company time. I'd bet you can
rewrite the program (and have a much better application!) from scratch
in 1/3 the time it will take you to understand and convert this program.
By the way, you are looking at information having to do with
program-described screens. That is a whole area of knowledge you just
do not want to get to know.
This is, of course, opinion. But it is based on having done quite a few
of these conversions.

Is there documentation or a good article somewhere on what some of these
"strange" things are in the S36 programs and the likely equivalent.
One example is an E-Spec. It appears to be some sort of array or table.
Perhaps for a subfile? Also these F-specs:
0011 FWK CP F 756 WORKSTN
0012 F KFMTS CTDS04FM
0013 F KINFDS DSINF
0014 F KINFSR SUBINF
I would hate to bombard this list with a ton of questions if there is a
resource I could go to first.
