As to rewriting HLASM code in C - if you mostly just groveling through control blocks and using non-authorized services, why not? It'll make the code more accessible by others, in many cases it's just as efficient, and - it's fun!
I would say it can be significantly more efficient. I've re-compiled C programs for new architecture and got a x2 performance improvement. You're not going to get that with assembler. You have to rewrite the program. The fly in the ointment is SYS1.MACLIB is in HLASM/PL/X and the DSECT converter tool is not perfect.
