To read non-transactional messages from a dead-letter queue you must first obtain the machine identifier (GUID) of the computer associated with the DEADLETTER.

The machine identifier is combined with the "Machine" and "DEADLETTER" keywords to create the format name of the queue. Here is the syntax of format name for the dead-letter queue.

Machine=MachineGUID;DEADLETTER

  1. Declare the variables needed to retrieve the message.
