6.2.1 Tailoring Data Elements

The lowest level of tailoring involves changing data element
statements to modify the data elements within the file.
There are two types of data elements:  common and standard.

Common data elements are further defined.  Elements common to
files across products are defined in a special common
description area, and elements common to files in one product
are defined in that product's cccGENIN member.

Standard data elements are elements that are used by one
standard file in one product.  (If the standard file has
parallel files, the standard data elements are available to
the parallel files as well.)

Refer to Chapter 10 of your product's guide for special
considerations and more information on customizing data
elements.

The statements listed below define the Network Performance
Analyzer (NPA) component with one file, the Network Control
Program (NCP) file.  This statement would be found in the
product's sharedprefix.MICS.GENLIB(cccGENIN) member.  Data
element definition statements that can be modified by the
user are indicated by "-->" in the left margin of the
example.

The NAME statements whose data element option code is 99 are
common data elements available to all CA MICS files. Data
elements that are common to this product's files are defined
prior to the first AREA statement in the product's cccGENIN
member.

Common data elements available to all CA MICS files are
described in the generation library member $DEGENIN.  The
statements below describe those data elements, and are
extracted from $DEGENIN.  These data element definitions can
all be user-modified.
