Greg, I have been in your situation and I know the frustration you are living with. One thing you might be able to do is talk to the IBM DeveloperWorks people and see if they can help. IBM is big on Linux these days and they might be able to make some time for you in a porting lab. Note that I'm not connected to IBM in any way and I can't commit IBM to anything.

I have been tasked with porting a old Cobol app to C code. I do NOT have access to an IBM S/390 to do any debugging. I do have access to a production system that provides me with the end-results of the algorithm, but none of the sub-step level info I need. I have used the TinyCOBOL (http://tiny-cobol.sourceforge.net/) compiler to compile the original code in a SuSE based server and add debug statements. My C code now produces the exact same results as the TInyCobol version for my 100 test cases. Unfortunately, the original is only agreeing with 90% of these results and I need a 100% agreement. The code is very mathematical and it heavily uses cobol's weird fixed point logic. I need a way to compile the original code with debug statements and run it on a IBM mainfraime. Does anyone know of a resource for doing this.
