The priority level as INTEGER.

The QAnywhere API defines ten levels of priority value, with 0 as the lowest priority and 9 as the highest. Clients should consider priorities 0-4 as gradations of normal priority and priorities 5-9 as gradations of expedited priority.

You can read this header after a message is received and until a rollback or commit occurs; after that you cannot read it.

• SQL application setup
• ml_qa_setpriority
• ml_qa_createmessage
• ml_qa_getmessage

In the following example, a message is received and the priority of the message is output to the database server messages window:

begin
    declare @msgid varchar(128);
    declare @priority integer;
    set @msgid = ml_qa_getmessage( 'myaddress' );
    set @priority = ml_qa_getpriority( @msgid );
    message 'a message with priority ' || @priority || ' has been received';
    commit;
end
