3.2.4.4 Data Element Derivation Panel

If you require user-defined data elements, use the Data
Element Derivation Macro Definition panel shown in Figure
3-30 to specify their derivation.

Relative Importance 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 that are field protected to
prevent accidental 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 User's Guide: Basics.
