 This question came up from time to time during the 1980's.  As
 you know, only RPG III was available for the AS 400 for a long time.
 Later, COBOL.  Even Later C.  Once C became available, some people
 made inquiries about Ada.

 When Meridian was still alive, they were negotiating with a company
 in Michigan to port their compiler to AS 400.  I think this effort
 faded into oblivion when Verdix acquired Meridian.  Of course, Meridian
 also faded into virtual oblivion when Rational dumped the compiler
 on Harcourt-Brace.
