Debugging for specific input data

We encountered a problem when debugging for specific input data.
DT allows capturing transcations/programs using tran/cu/lm/user/term and in the advanced options commarea offset and container.

However, many of our transactions can only be differentiated by input entered in EXEC CICS RECIEVE / from MQ message data or other channels (other than this data, they have the exact same terminal/user/cu/lm...)

Therefor, the user trying to debug cannot catch the right occurance of the transaction he wants to debug.
