Removing a message that we have browsed

We can remove from the queue a message that we have already browsed provided that we have opened the queue for removing messages as well as for browsing. (We must specify one of the MQOO_INPUT_* options, as well as the MQOO_BROWSE option, on your MQOPEN call.)

To remove the message, call MQGET again, but in the Options field of the MQGMO structure, specify MQGMO_MSG_UNDER_CURSOR. In this case, the MQGET call ignores the MsgId, CorrelId, and GroupId fields of the MQMD structure.

In the time between your browsing and removal steps, another program might have removed messages from the queue, including the message under your browse cursor. In this case, your MQGET call returns a reason code to say that the message is not available.
