5.1 Data Element Naming Conventions

CA MICS data elements follow naming conventions that depend
on whether they are standard or common data elements.
Standard data elements use the first three characters of
their name to identify the file in which they are defined.
The following charts list the three-character prefixes with
which the standard data element names begin and the files in
which they are contained.

Note:  The files containing an underscore (_) are called
parallel files because they contain the same elements as
another file.  For these files, the first three characters of
the data element names identify the file in which the data
elements are defined.

Common data elements do not use a data element prefix.  They
have a common definition across database information areas or
across files within an information area.  You can find
common data elements listed under Sequence/Summary Data
Elements and Common Data Elements in the Data Elements List
sections that follow.
