MVS format object decks always have x'02' in column 1 and not "W", so that
would be a problem.  You would also need to link with an appropriate Cobol
runtime library, and those would have been EOL circa 30 years ago.  Worst
case you might have to disassemble and recreate this module, eliminating
the VSE dependencies (some are usually unavoidable).
