Pub400.com – Your public IBM I 7.5 server
If you want to learn IBM i with a modern IDE, you can actually use VS Code with https://github.com/halcyon-tech/vscode-ibmi.
I also made a subpar guide to getting started on IBM i with RPGLE at https://barrettotte.github.io/IBMi-Book. Its a really fun language/environment and I recommend anyone take a try at coding something trivial.

Made an issue for you and I am working on the fix, which might be out tonight. https://github.com/halcyon-tech/vscode-ibmi/issues/421

COBOL: You’re thinking about it wrong – GCN
There are companies that specialize in this area such as Microfocus and Fujitsu.
A long time ago, I wrote a Tandem COBOL to C# and WPF translator (https://github.com/GartzenDeHaes/cobol2cs). The key bits are:
- COBOL UI's run in a customer written environment that provides navigation and session data. In the system that I wrote, there's a WPF application that provides these services.
- Convert SCREEN COBOL to C#. The Tandem uses a VT6530 that is similar to an extended IBM 3270. There are client-side protected fields and scrollable areas that need to be emulated in WPF.
- Convert COBOL servers to C#. The Tandem has a 3-tier architecture where the screen programs talk to services running in a middle tier through an network layer called PATHWAY. These can be converted to classes and be created on demand in C#.
- Remote access to SQL/MP databases. Tandem has a Java Servlet environment that can be used as a data access layer. The transpiler generates these Servlets and the C# data access layer.
