is the COBOL and CICS code (somehow). We had planned on using Microfocus
for our needs. I have heard that management is now in "sticker shock" mode

Yes, I've messed around with that a fair amount. I identified about 2500

Why
This is why the company I work with (Prozgroup) is doing real well. We
put small, suppository "going away" z systems on our floor on down-sized
equipment creating a "z in the cloud" environment.
Once the costs are minimized, it usually becomes cheaper to leave the
applications on the
