Run some hairy test cases and evaluate the outputs for, e.g., completeness, effort for manual recodeing of anything not automatically converted, efficiency, readability, maintainability. It's a lot harder to do it well than to just do it. Using a program that only translates 75% of a module might require more manpower than translating the whole thing manually.

This has porobbaly been asked and answered, but are there tools or companies that can convert or help to rewrite assembler applications or just programs into COBOL? Any suggestions?
