The pdp-8 had Dibol. I can't think of any other business-oriented language; Wikipedia isn't much help on that search. Mabye Dibol-11 was for migration. Much good code was written for the 8 that a business case could be made to move such to the 11. I'm sure there was more good code produced, but the stuff from MCBA comes to mind.
