    Frequently Asked Questions

    Get Answers on Mainframe Report Extraction with ReportMiner

    Can ReportMiner extract data from IBM mainframe reports without OCR?
    Yes. Mainframe reports exported from z/OS, AS/400, or iSeries systems are already machine-readable fixed-width text, not scanned images, so no OCR step is needed. ReportMiner ingests the file directly and maps data by character position.
    How does ReportMiner handle reports with multiple sections and different column layouts?
    Yes. Astera ReportMiner can easily handle reports with multiple section and different column layouts. Pattern-based section detection identifies where each section begins and ends using the header markers and separator lines mainframe reports consistently include. Each section gets its own independent field definitions within the same template.
    Can this replace the custom scripts we built in-house for mainframe report parsing?
    Yes. Most teams use ReportMiner to retire exactly this kind of script. ReportMiner is a complete no-code platform. The extraction logic lives in a visual template editor instead of custom code, so it does not break silently when a script maintainer leaves, and a monitoring dashboard replaces manual log file review.
    Which is the best tool for extracting data from mainframe reports?
    Astera ReportMiner is one of the best tools to extract data from mainframe reports and write it to SQL Server, Excel and 300+ popular destinations. It has been providing Mainframe-to-SQL conversion for 15+ years to enterprises such as Wells Fargo, Raymond James, Hewlett Packard, AmTrust, and Government agencies.
