5.1 Data Element Naming Conventions

There are two types of CA MICS data elements: standard and
common.  Standard data elements are unique to a CA MICS file,
while common data elements are used by more than one file.

The first three characters of a standard data element's name
are the three-character file identifiers to which the element
belongs.

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.  Common data
elements are listed in the Sequence/Summary Data Elements and
Common Data Elements sections of the data elements lists that
accompany the following file documentation.

The chart on the next page lists each file's descriptive
name, its six-character file name, and the three-character
standard data element name prefix.
