Many years ago I worked on MCBA accounting apps written in DIBOL that ran on PDP-8 and PDP-11's with RT-11, TSX/DBL and RSTS/E. MBCA had a poor mans ISAM that really wasn't all that bad considering it worked on all those platforms. Cannot say I really liked DIBOL all that much but it was compact and relatively easy to learn. Fast forward to the mid 80's on VMS, I even did QIOs in DIBOL on VMS to interact with 3270 emulators. 

Worked for DEC Software Services from 1983-92 and had to do all sorts of odd stuff. The only language on VMS I didn't do much with was Fortran.
