As per my understanding. Compulsory data element is used for enforcing to
fill up of the element for fulfilling the dataset. Without fill the
compulsory data element(s) no one can complete the dataset.

For numeric value there is a caution to use Compulsory data element about
zero '0' value saving.
For other data types it is OK for use.
