Returns the priority level of the message.

Parameters

Return value

The priority level as INTEGER.

Remarks

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.
