Macros and inline coding that avoids USING statements solves ambiguous USING 
statements. In this case, I'm guessing it's an IBM CICS macro.

Sometimes I see macro expansions (and just open code) with code like the 
following.

        L    12,X'14'(,12)
        AH    12,AFLENG-DFHAFCB(,12)
        L    12,AFPFXLEN+AFTKTCB-AFTSTART(,12)
        LLGT  12,UKTCB_ACTIVE_TASK-DFHUKTCB(,12)
        LLGT  12,UTATCAA-DFHUTASN(,12)

Is that code equal to this?

        L    12,X'14'(,12)
          USING DFHAFCB,12
        AH    12,AFLENG
          USING AFTSTART,12
        L    12,AFPFXLEN+AFTKTCB
          USING DFHUKTCB
        LLGT  12,UKTCB_ACTIVE_TASK
          USING DFHUTASN
        LLGT  12,UTATCAA(,12)

What is the "name" of this usage?
