Paul, You can use the Tachyon z/Assembler to reassemble your programs and produce ELF objects to run on Linux for S/390 or zSeries. You would need to supply replacement macros for the ACB, GET, PUT, RPL and other VSAM services. You might also look at running your programs on the Tachyon Operating System to provide VSAM emulation.
