Structured Programming Facility was how we named it back in 1978. I was thrilled to think that IBM had a product for Structured Programming. Having cut my teeth on the excellent Jackson Structured programming techniques, alas it wasn't that at all but merely a code indenter to line up block structured programs such as PL/I which was our sole language allowed at IBM at the time for my particular project.
A few months later the erudite Tony Droar ran courses on JSP, we used it a little and it was soon forgotten when the next fad came along. (JSP was not a fad). I still have my copy of "Principles of Program Design".
