You still have FORTRAN (66), RPG, SPL, and BASIC;
besides the 2 COBOL compilers.

The second release of the HP 3000 Series III simulator
is now available
from the Computer History Simulation Project (SIMH) site:
?[...]
...has been updated to add the following features:
- Preinstalled User-Defined Commands (UDCs) provide access to the COBOL
74 compiler with the MPE-V/E :COBOLII, :COBOLIIPREP, and :COBOLIIGO
commands, and to the COBOL 85 compiler with :COBOLIIX,
:COBOLIIXPREP, and :COBOLIIXGO. However, note that the simulator
currently does not provide the HP 32234A COBOL II firmware
instructions, so programs generated by the COBOLII compiler will
abort at run time with "ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION" errors, limiting the
current utility of the compilers to syntax checking.
?So? I assume that we can make operative programs *only* with the COBOL 74
compiler, Isn't so ?
Kind Regards
