(COld) The capture of large (typically mainframe generated) reports on optical media such that sections are accessible as individual documents. A successor technology to "COM" (Computer Output on Microfilm). In 1999 the AIIM renamed COld to ERM/COld (Enterprise Report Management), to better reflect the changes and improvements this technology has undergone throughout the years. An example application is {Pearldoc QuickFile Information Management System (http://www.pearldoc.com/)} (IMS). (2001-04-30)
