To expand on Howard's note: 1) Do you have existing VSE and existing z/OS applications (and in-house expertise)?
2) Is this a "single app" that you need to migrate - while maintaining the existing VSE environment, or is this a "shop migration"? 3) Are you migrating CICS, Batch, DL/I, DB2, or some combination of these? 4) Are you migrating Assembler - or COBOL, PL/I, or other? If one of the HLL languages, are you running a CURRENT (e.g. COBOL for VSE with LE/VSE) in the VSE environment - or are you using an older (currently unsupported) compiler such as VS COBOL II or even DOS/VS COBOL? (Similar questions for PL/I) * * * * * * * As Howard indicated, if you are migrating a single COBOL (batch) program from VSE (with a current compiler) to MVS, then the program migration should be (relatively) simple, but the JCL (and tuning) may be difficult. If, however, you are converting a single CICS COBOL application (for example) from an existing (current compiler under VSE) to CICS/COBOL under z/OS, then JCL won't be much of an issue and only a few EXEC CICS implications become important. As I recall DL/I to IMS is "more of a challenge" while DB2 is less of a challenge. If you are actually doing a full "shop migration" from VSE to a (new to your shop) z/OS environment, then there is LOTS AND LOTS that you have to think about (and learn).

If you do and it's a Cobol APP and you have the source code just take the program and re compile it using the O/S Cobol compiler. Correct any syntax errors correct the run JCL (from VSE to MVS) then move the data with something like FDR or DFDSS. > > Also, check with the z/OS Cobol syntax manual before you start. > > Still having problems???
