PHX-KeyPlus
PHX-KeyPlus is a data entry system that incorporates features of off-line systems (e.g., immediate response time) with the benefits and functionality of on-line systems.
PHX-KeyPlus is flexible; you can determine how 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.

PHX-KeyPlus lets you controls user access via formats, jobs, batches, and operator security. Authority privileges and access to sensitive data is reserved for a supervisor.
PHX-KeyPlus runs on IBM and IBM-compatible mainframes using standard 3270-type terminals.
