6.3.1.4 Other Correction Types

For data elements of types other than calculated, the
correction methods may be more difficult.  Fortunately, such
cases are relatively rare, and usually are discovered during
test, before implementation.  This is especially true for
components generated with the MCG, because both generated
code and documentation reflect the type of the data element.

Methods for recovering maximum, minimum, and accumulated data
elements often result in the data element value being reset
to zero or missing.  This is true because it is often
impractical to reprocess all the source data involved, and no
other source of correct information is available.

In such cases, contact the CA MICS Product Support Group for
suggestions on data element recovery.
