Receiving messages from a PTP queue

The following general steps outline how an OpenEdge application receives a message from a queue:

1. The application obtains a handle to the PTP Session object.

2. The application creates a Message Consumer object by calling the createMessageConsumer procedure.

3. The application calls the receiveFromQueueprocedure in the Session object with the name of a queue and the Message Consumer handle as input parameters.

4. The application executes a WAIT–FOR statement (or calls a waitForMessages procedure) and processes incoming messages and other ABL (Advanced Business Language) events.

5. The application deletes the messages after it finishes using them.
