USE defines the quantity of resource to be used

Syntax:

     USE := <real expression>);
It is used to define the quantity of resource to be used for a message.

The instruction assigns the value of <real expression> to the field USE of the actually processed message. When the message is processed by a R type node, the message will try to use that quantity of resource. The value of the USE field can be changed any number of times during a simulation run.

This instruction can be used in nodes of any type.

Example:

     Warehouse (R) :: IF BoxSize = Large THEN USE := 4 ELSE USE := 1.5;
