Has anybody heard of a 4GL called CSP? It's supposed to run in IBM
different environments (MVS/XA, VM/VSE) with a "simple" re-link. Can
it also run on a VAX? What's the advantage of CSP over other 4GL's
or even traditional languages?
Any background info or a pointer to information would be helpful.
Thanks,
-Jay-

Thanks for the pointer. Since writing this note, I have found a few
articles in Trade rags that discuss CSP. FYI, CSP is/was a strategic
language (?) for IBM and SAA. IBM has blessed it, but user acceptance
is falling due in large part to:
1. CSP is essentially intepretive in nature.
2. Performance is poor.
3. CSP currently cannot produce compilable source code, e.g.,
COBOL.
Thanks again for the quick pointer,
-Jay-
