PCL's ability to process large mainframe files, and create electronic documents from the data in those files has many applications in report-based industries, such as those in the financial arena. Data files generated by an institution's mainframe computer can be processed into text statements, identified by account number and/or customer name.
The statements generated by the PCL module can be further processed within OnBase by certain data output and distribution modules. For example, the Image Statements module matches text statements with check images to produce checking account statements.
