Cade,
We typically use the MsgType field, though you can also use the MsgId or CorrelId fields. Just keep in mind that if you override the MsgId field (which normally gets set to a unique number by MQSeries) and you don't guarantee uniqueness, you may end up with two messages in the system with the same MsgId which can cause problems. CorrellId may be a better choice than MsgType if you need to have a very long identifier - I believe MsgType only 8 bytes whereas CorrellId is 24.
You can search on several criteria. The ones I have listed all work: MsgId, CorrellId, MsgType. In addition you can match against GroupId, MsgSeqNumber, MsgToken, and Offset. Keep in mind that if you are matching against, say CorrellId, and you do a GET that succeeds, the other matching fields like MsgId will be set to the values that were in the message. This means that if you do another GET using the same MQMD structure that you did the original GET all those values will still be set and you will end up trying to match against a message that is no longer on the queue. This means that when you are doing multiple MQGETs and matching against some value, you need to reset all matchable values in the MQMD structure after each GET.
Hope this helps...

Cade,
You must have in mind that MsgId and CorrelId are not converted by MQSeries, eg if you filled one of those field with a string value from an EBCDIC machine, this value still in EBCDIC format on an ASCII machine...

I've seen the questions about MQGetting a specific message, say using the MSGID. Now, I'm wondering if someone could send me sample java code or c code (java preferred) on how to do this (puts and gets with specific msgid's )
Thanks! Stella.

Stella,
Sorry it's taken so long to respond to your question, but here is a link to a sample java program in the http://www.mqseries.net software repository that shows how to use MQGET and MsgIds:
