CSF and Mainframe

When you are talking about CSF Mainframe ... what means CSF?

Please excuse my ignorance!

What mainframe?  Can you give any context or references?

I know of a "COBOL Structuring Facility" that used to be an available tool f
or
IBM mainframe COBOL programmers.

However, there are probably HUNDREDS of other meanings for "CSF" in other
environments and situations.

This is the situation.
A job offer advertised on monster.co.uk:
A CSF Mainframe Developer is required asap for a large financial
services group. Candidates MUST have CSF experience. Additional skills
required are Cobol, JCL and Easytrieve. Work visas can be arranged but
candidates must have at least 1 years experience of CSF. Our clients
will also wait for notice periods.

Any chance this might be a typo for "CSP"?

Given the Easytrieve and JCL references, I am GUESSING an IBM mainframe
environment.  And the (now out-of-date) CSP "COBOL code generator" was in co
mmon
usage in sites with Easytrieve.

However, that is JUST a guess - and someone may know of a "CSF" product that
would be required.

I ask because I want to know what is CSF, not to put in evidence my
nonexistent experience in CSF.

Thanks for clarifications.

Kind regards,
Tiberiu.

CSF stands for Computer Solutions and Finance Plc, a consultancy that is a
rising star for financial enterprises.

The have a good relationship with IBM, and their software is deployable
across mainframes and Client/Server.

I've never worked with them personally, but I hear they do a good job.

Sounds like someone's been ruled out, I'd say.

There is also a company called CSF.

Google "CSF" = 2,310,000 hits.
