PHX-ODE (On-line Data Entry) is an on-line tool designed for reliable heads-down data entry, data entry application development and sophisticated system control facilities, as well as standard data entry tasks.

PHX-ODE is user-oriented, powerful, advanced software that is easy to use for novice and expert users alike. PHX-ODE eliminates the need for additional hardware because it accesses mainframe files directly. It runs in a CICS^® environment or a VTAM-based environment, and does not require key-to-disk, key-to-tape, or key-to-diskette hardware. In addition, PHX-ODE avoids delays caused by creating batches and transporting data.

You can customize PHX-ODE to fit your data entry needs. You can define multiple occurrences of a screen field or detail line, as well as multiple screen field types and multiple edits for screen format fields. Reformatted batches of edited data are easily exported for use by other applications, saving time and money.

PHX-ODE/PC provides the same robust, dependable data entry functionality for the PC as PHX-ODE provides for the mainframe. PHX-ODE/PC is a runtime system that allows you to tap into the power of mainframe PHX-ODE system applications, screen formats, programs, tables, and more. PHX-ODE/PCX allows for a stand-alone application without interface to the mainframe version.
