11.5.4 Data Element Derivation Screen

If you require user-defined data elements, use the Data
Element Derivation Macro Definition screen shown in Figure
11-11 to specify their derivation.

 Figure 11-11.  Data Element Derivation Macro Definition Screen

Workload characterization 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 which are provided for you
and are field protected from 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 into the SAS manuals.
