6.2.1.1 Standard Data Elements

As discussed in the prior section, standard data elements are
data elements that belong to a standard CA MICS file and its
parallel files, if any exist.

Most standard data elements begin with the three character
identifier of the file to which the data element belongs.
For example, the data element NCPMNFBL begins with NCP,
showing that it belongs to the NPANCP file.
