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.
