PHX-KeyPlus is an on-line data entry system that runs on IBM and IBM-compatible mainframes using standard 3270-type terminals. It incorporates all features of off-line data entry systems (e.g., immediate response time) with the benefits and functionality of on-line systems.

PHX-KeyPlus' flexibility lets users determine how the amount of data entry work is distributed throughout the organization. PHX-KeyPlus can serve as a file inquiry system or master file maintenance tool since users can access mainframe files directly from the product. Because PHX-KeyPlus provides a simple way to enter and extract data, it can easily generate diverse test data.

PHX-KeyPlus controls access at the user level via formats, jobs, batches, and operator security. Authority privileges and access to all sensitive data is reserved for a supervisor.

PHX-KeyPlus/PC uses the data entry formats and validation procedures maintained on the mainframe. These formats and procedures are transferred to the PC via a down-line load or batch file transfer process. The two platforms use one table of valid user IDs and passwords. All editing features that are available on PHX-KeyPlus are available on the PHX-KeyPlus/PC.
