I'll know more tomorrow.
According to the HP manual, it's just a matter of Calling Standards and FP arithmetic that a complile/link should solve with a few exceptions that I don't now yet, and this seems to be confirmed by Rogert Gezelter

A migration plan has three domains:
o Target HW platform and communications
o Operating System and LP
o Applications
Looks like domain 1 and 2 are adressed yet.
As far as Applications are concerned, these compile/link should do the job (more or less).
I studied 7 OpenVMS migrations since Airbus in 2003 (who went Charon). May help, but your advice all is greatly appreciated.
