Almost everything you do (did) under S/370 does still run under z/OS 1.13, excluding ISAM, VSAM IMBED / REPLICATE characteristics. Everything done under S/360 that was incorporated into S/370 is included. You could download the Turnkey3 CD and run it on your PC as a developement environment. If you want to use some usermode z/Series instructions, you could download the MVS/380 project.
Some things have changed, some things have been added. The worst thing would be the old Cobol compiler did not have END- structures, so you might pick up some bad habits getting around this.
