Syntax Element Description:

Syntax Element	Description
view-name	View Name: Name of the view used by Entire System Server.
USING	USING Clause: The USING clause is used to pass parameters to the Entire System Server processor. This is done by assigning a value (operand2) to a field (operand1) in a view defined to Entire System Server. See the Entire System Server documentation for view description. Note: Multiple specifications of operand1=operand2 must be separated either by the input delimiter character (as specified with the session parameter ID) or by a comma.
GIVING	GIVING Clause: The GIVING clause is used to specify the fields (operand3) for which values are to be returned by the Entire System Server processor. Each field must be defined in a view used by Entire System Server.
