KeyesPunch(tm) - Summary

KeyesPunch performs heads-down data entry and two-pass verification. Screen formats for any application can be quickly generated by an operator. In the IBM i (i5, iSeries, AS/400) version, up to 32 record layouts or levels may be defined in each format. Record lengths from one to 1024 characters may be defined. Data entry files can be created at any size up to 100,000 records. In the PC version, 100's of record layouts or levels may be defined in each format. Record lengths from one to 16,000 characters may be defined. Data entry files can be created at any size up to 1 billion records. Multiple data entry files may be appended to each other just before they are processed or transmitted. As the operator keys data, the program will check each field as specified in the format.

Up to nine different fields can be accumulated to compare against batch totals. Fields can be set up for automatic duplication or skipping. Fields can be prefilled with data such as constant data, automatic incrementing, field totals, or the current date. Efficiency features include entry/update, record backspace, automatic record advance, autodup and skip, left or right justification, verify bypass, constant fields, format chaining, and current date fields. Accuracy features include verification, alpha/numeric check, mandatory enter or mandatory fill, field totals, modulus ten or 11 self-checking, range checks, table lookups, date checks, and incrementing fields.

Additional features include search by content, search by record number, field calculations, automatic format recognition, record insert or delete, full screen scrolling, compute totals, trail verification, operator statistics, logic fields, continued formats, storage fields, output record reformatting, and complete edit language.

The PC version of KeyesPunch is in it's final version (Version 9). There will be no further enhancements to this product. KeyesPunch 9 is not compatible with Windows Vista.
