no longer worked in the newer version because IBM tightened up the generated
code quite a bit. Hal is absolutely right,
the Migration Guide is your friend.

You may also want to consider renaming them first to make sure nobody is
referencing them in JCL, procs, or subroutines. After a a few days with no
incidents, then remove them.

Another possibility, if you cannot
the first line in REXXAB Should be /* rexx */
It doesn't have to end in a comment.
/* REXX -- noise */
Or, /* REXX
other text
.

*/
Also works.

You don't need to run z/OS on VM. This is an option, IMHO rarely used in
serious production.
Resource sharing?
Short answer: yes. It is just a later version with bug fixes and new
features.
But, as always, the details are devilish. As another wisely posted, the
COBOL migration guide is your friend.
The vast majority of programs should compile and run just fine with no
detectible behavioral changes. But
I am assuming ICF is really ICSF with the IBM mainframe crypto hardware.
There is no way to revert to the previous master key. However, if the
previous master key is still stored within the crypto hardware and you
have an externally (not in CKDS) stored key token whose key value was
encrypted
Here's a link I've found useful which describes the history of COBOL on the
z/OS platform:

From your COBOL version information you have listed, you are skipping three

Agreed 100%. There is no difference between
