6.3 Data Element/Data Source Cross-Reference

The following tables provide cross-references from the data
elements in the DB2 Information Area files to their
corresponding input data field names.  This information is
useful when you are familiar with an input data source and
want to identify the data element that contains the data
field.  It also helps to identify the data elements that are
unique to a data source and lets you locate comparable fields
when converting from one DB2 monitor to another.

Note:  Not all DB2 data elements are listed below.  Elements
not listed would include those that are computed from other
elements and may not be directly assigned from a single raw
input element.

The cross-reference listing is a useful tool when tailoring a
database by identifying data elements pertaining to the DB2
versions being input.  As new DB2 versions are installed,
database tailoring is necessary to activate new elements and
deactivate elements that may no longer be available in the
input DB2 data.
