I have been following this thread for a bit. Maybe I missed where the has been answered.
Are COBOL LOAD modules incompatible between VSE and Z/os? (specifically regarding file handling?) If not, is there an option to delay or stage the changing and recompiling/binding of the COBOL SOURCE code until after the conversion. The programs could be changed as they come up for maintenance or encounter a problem? If the old ones can continue to run, you could use historical data to determine if certain programs are often maintained or fails frequently, and work on those programs first?
