SQL Processing Using File Input is a database facility invented by IBM for interfacing with their DB2 system. It is accessed from within TSO ISPF from the DB2I Primary Option menu.

SPUFI allows direct input of SQL commands in the TSO environment, rather than having them embedded within a program.

Still no idea what the hell it is.....................

TSO is a shell that runs over the mainframe operating system and is used as an interface to do things... Edit programs, files, access various tools, all kinds of stuff. One of those tools is SPUFI... It allows you to make calls to a DB2 database and view the results.
