5.1 Data Element Naming Conventions

CA MICS data elements follow naming conventions that depend
 on whether they are standard or common data elements.
 Standard data elements use the first three characters of
 their name to identify the file in which they are defined.
 The following charts list the three-character prefixes with
 which the standard data element names begin and the files in
 which they are contained.

Note:  The files containing an underscore (_) are called
 parallel files because they contain the same elements as
 another file.  For these files, the first three characters of
 the data element names identify the file in which the data
 elements are defined.
 
 Common data elements do not use a data element prefix.  They
 have a common definition across database information areas or
 across files within an information area.  You can find
 common data elements listed under Sequence/Summary Data
 Elements and Common Data Elements in the Data Elements List
 sections that follow.
