EasyTrieve is both interpreted and compiled. Not entirely sure of the
internals ("compiled" may only be "store the interpretable code in an
executable" like compiled Rexx), but EasyTrieve programs can be run as source
or compiled to an executable program.

Echoing what others have said, upward OS compatibility for compiled and linked
applications is a hallmark of MVS and its descendants. I would be stunned if
you had a problem with the COBOL apps. Trust but verify: you might want to run
a test or two on the new hardware. And it's not the end of the world, right?
You/they *could* recompile a failing application?
Is Easytrieve interpreted or compiled? My recollection is interpreted. If so,
it's hard to see how there could be an upward compatibility problem.
