15.5.4 Data Element Derivation Screen

If you require user-defined data elements, use the Data
Element Derivation Macro Definition screen shown in Figure
15-11 to specify their derivation.

 Figure 15-11.  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, and 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 in the SAS manuals.
