				| I now need to  manually assign the message id of put message. How can I do it. Some code fragment as follow: 
 MQPutMessageOptions pmo = new MQPutMessageOptions();
 pmo.options = MQC.MQPMO_NONE;
 
 byte[] a = new byte[(int)001];
 messagePut.messageId = a;
 
 RequestMQ.put(messagePut, pmo);
 
 System.out.print("\nPut ID: ");
 dumpHexId(messagePut.messageId);
 
 when I print the message ID, it still using the system value. Please help

				| Is it this what you try to do ? 
 
 
   
	| Code: |  
	| byte[] a = new byte[1]; a[0] = 1;
 messagePut.messageId = a;

				| In my original message, I want to find the coding to manually assign message ID for MQ java client. 
 I have found in the code in IBM MQ sample now.
 
 But can anyone suggest the best ways to generate the unique numeric message ID.
 
 Thanks.

 There are better ways to do whatever it is you are trying to do with a numeric Message ID.
 
 It is recommended practice that you allow the system to generate unique message IDs for you, and simply work with the fact that they are neither strings nor numbers but binary data.  It's no harder to work with binary data than it is to work with strings or numbers!

				| If you are trying to encode some application-specific information in the MsgId, as Jeff points out, there are better ways to do this. There are other fields in the MQMD, like the CorrelId, that you can use to put your own information in. It is best to leave the generation of the MsgId up to the queue manager. _________________
