4.2.4.4.5 Data Dependency Statement (DEPEND)

This statement defines the data elements that are
required to compute the data element defined by the previous
NAME or NAMX statement or by the general computed definitions
of @@FIRST and @@LAST.  The DEPEND statement causes an
additional edit to be performed to ensure that an element
required in a computation is not inadvertently marked
inactive.

STATEMENT FORMAT

   DEPEND XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX
           |
           +---ELEMENTS - One to seven elements which are
                          required to compute the element(s)
                          in NAME, @@FIRST, or @@LAST.

STATEMENT OPTION DEFINITIONS

  DEPEND  - Defines the data elements in this file on which
            the computation of the element(s) in NAME,
            @@FIRST, or @@LAST depends.

            ELEMENTS - The 4-8 character field tags of the
                       fields required.  If an element is
                       defined on a DEPEND statement and has
                       been deleted from the file or marked
                       inactive (N) an error message will be
                       generated and the run aborted.

STATEMENT EXAMPLE

The following examples illustrate the use of the DEPEND
statement in conjunction with a computed expression.

NAME PGAAVRSF 00 0 0 0 0 0 Average Working Set Size
EXP 01 IF PGAMSD*PGACTS > 0 THEN
EXP 02   PGAAVRSF=(PGAMTS*PGACSD*50)/(PGAMSD*PGACTS);
EXP 03 ELSE PGAAVRSF=0;
DEPEND PGAMSD PGACTS PGAMTS PGACSD
