      SHOW USES  [ qualifier ] ...   element-name ,...

1  –  Parameters

1.1  –  element-name 

    Specifies the element whose owners you are displaying.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /TYPE 

    Format option:

       /TYPE=[ ( type-name ) ] ,...

 Displays only owners of the type you specify. This type must be
 the keyword RECORD or FIELD or a type name that is valid for
 this command. Valid types include instances of ELEMENT_TYPE or
 RELATIONSHIP_TYPE; they do not include instances of PROPERTY_TYPE.

2.2    /BRIEF_(default) 

    Displays the name, type, and relationship type of immediate
    owners. /BRIEF is the default qualifier.

2.3    /FULL 

    Displays the name, type, and relationship type of all owners.

3  –  Description 

    The SHOW USES command displays the owners of the element you
    specify. The display includes the properties of owners and the
    values associated with these properties.

    The SHOW USES command lists owners if they have either directory
    names or processing names. CDO looks first for the directory
    name and displays it if one exists. If a directory name does not
    exist, CDO then looks for and displays the processing name.

    An element can only exist in the repository without a directory
    or processing name if it has a relationship to an owner with a
    directory name. CDO displays a name unspecified message in this
    case.

    You can use the SHOW USES command to display the names of
    elements that receive new version messages if you create a new
    version of the element you specify.

4  –  Examples 

    1.CDO>  SHOW USES EMPLOYEE_DB

      In this example, because no qualifier is specified, the SHOW
      USES command displays the default information (/BRIEF). This
      information includes the names of immediate owners of the
      EMPLOYEE_DB database element.

    2.CDO>  SHOW USES /FULL FIELD_A(2)

      In this example, the SHOW USES command with the /FULL qualifier
      displays all owners of the FIELD_A(2) field element.

    3.CDO>  SHOW USES /FULL /TYPE=(RECORD) EMPLOYEE_NAME

      In this example, the SHOW USES command with the /FULL and
      /TYPE qualifiers displays all owners of EMPLOYEE_NAME that are
      records.
