It started[1] life as structured programming facility (SPF). At some
point it became a program product, under the same name. Then it became
System Productivity Facility, then Interactive System Productivity
Facility (ISPF). I don't recall the original (FDP or IUP?) progam
number, but two early program product versions were:
TSO - 3270 STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING FACILITY (SPF), 5740-XT2
TSO 3270 DISPLAY SUPPORT AND STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING FACILITY (SPF)
VERSION 2 SPECIFICATIONS, LIC PROG 5740-XT8
There were also VM versions for CMS users.
[1] There may have been an internal version under a different name
