ReadShort method

This method reads 2 bytes from the Message Data buffer, starting with the byte referred to by DataOffset and returns it as an Integer (signed 2-byte) value.

The method fails if MQMessage.DataLength is less than 2 when it is issued.

DataOffset is incremented by 2 and DataLength is decremented by 2 if the method succeeds.

The 2 characters of message data are assumed to be a binary integer whose encoding is specified by the MQMessage.Encoding property.
