I understand that DFS/SMB under os/390 2.10 allows access to VSAM files in
a 'samba' sort of way.

I would seriously doubt that there is anything available that will allow
assembler source compatibility of indexed data access between OS/390 and
Linux. The access method would undoubtedly be vastly different.
If you have COBOL code, you might want to check out the three COBOL vendors
for Linux for S/390, they may be reasonably source compatible with COBOL
for
OS/390. They may even offer an assembler based access method.
