If you require user-defined data elements, use the Data
Element Derivation Macro Definition panel shown in Figure
1-34 to specify their derivation.

 Figure 1-34.  Data Element Derivation Macro Definition Panel


Data Clustering provides a user-exit for defining the
procedures for computing data elements that are not part of
the CA MICS database.  This exit is invoked by coding SAS
statements in the DRVMAC macro.  This macro is bracketed by
the %MACRO and %MEND statements, and field protected to
prevent modification.  The default for the DRVMAC macro is
null.

You must code each data element derivation SAS statement in
accordance with the syntax of the SAS Macro Language, as
described in the SAS manuals.
