5.2.1.3 CICCAC Usage Considerations


This section identifies some special considerations or
techniques related to using the CICCAC File.

1.  To activate the CICCAC file at the DETAIL timespan, refer
    to the instructions in section 10.1.4 of this guide.

2.  The ENDTS and STARTTS, when appearing in the DAYS,
    WEEKS, MONTHS, or YEARS timespans, bound the span of
    time over which the data has been summarized, with
    STARTTS being the lowest date and time, and ENDTS the
    highest date and time for the data summarized.

3.  The CICCAC data elements are renamed from the transaction
    DETAIL work file (CICCSW) created during daily input
    processing.  A rename macro, generated at component
    generation time based on GENLIB definitions, is used to
    create the CAC data elements from the work file.  This
    type of file creation does not affect the way you access
    the data -- the standard CA MICS summarization macros are
    available for reporting purposes.
