creation version serial number (CRVSN). In the Open System Services (OSS)
environment, a number assigned by a disk process when a file is created. The
CRVSN is used by the disk process and the OSS name server process to verify that

request that involves the file is made.

CUSTFILE. An EDIT file included on every site update tape (SUT) as
$SYSTEM.Annnnnn.CUSTFILE, where nnnnnn is the system serial number of the
