Focus?

We use a mainframe at work and there's some weird language they use to query it; starts with an F. I want to say it's called 'focus' but I really don't know. Does anyone know what this language may be, and where I could find tutorials for it?

Thanks.

Focus is a Database Programming language used on IBM Mainframes. IBM should be able to give you all the documentation for it.

Found it at Information Builders; the documentation is hideously expensive tho. I sort of need it free, or in cheap book form.
