Use Another Program’s Data Definitions (USE Option)

Structured display is normally used to format an application's storage area with its own data definitions. However, format any CICS storage area with any program's data definitions. To use another program's data definitions, add one of the following specifications as the last element in a CORE command:

=USE=progname.dataname 

or

=USE=*.dataname

progname

Specifies the name of the program that contains the structured information.

dataname

Specifies the name of the data item used as the starting point for the structured display.

*

Specifies the program currently stopped at a breakpoint.
