Thanks to all the responders so far. I am afraid I was given no
information other than "MVS/SP 3.2.2" and "DFP 3.2". These products
are licensed (and running on some old IBM hardware, which has yet
to be identified) by a non-US company that we acquired. Migration
is the goal; how we accomplish that is under investigation. My
initial thoughts are that the applications need to be moved, rather
than the entire MVS image.

That is entirely a different matter.
It really depends on a lot of things like what version of cobol they
were running. It might be just a recompile (if you are lucky) with
minimal changes.
If its assembler there are too many unknowns (for my taste) and at
least a scan of the source with an eye towards an OS dependency.
If there are other languages its up for grabs, IMO. There might be a
whole re-write or just a lot of code to go through, its really
difficult to say.
You might luck out and vary little might be needed for update, its
really hard to tell and only a person with a precticed eye can tell
you for sure where the trouble spots will be.
