You are not making sense.
Whether the cable is 12/3 w ground or 12/2 with ground the maximum amperage for the cable will be 20 amps.
When you say you want to use the 12/3 with a half/receptacle are you talking about a switch controlled receptacle on the bottom and an always hot receptacle on the top?
Are you trying to set up a multiwire branch circuit (which would actually require two circuit breakers)?
We need more information on what you are trying to do.
I already figure it out myself.
Thank you for your help.
