Then there is always RPG III (if not IV) - give a path off of those AS400's. It was available on VMS back in the early day - I did some development for a client back in the day.  

If interested in its history, Wikipedia had something to say: https://www.bing.com/search?q=RPG+iii&go=Search&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&pq=rpg+iii&sc=6-7&sk=&cvid=5C327FF61555478A9D43D8F196825F23
