Provide MQEI_NEVER

If an application forgets to set Expiry on their messages and therefore gets the default MQEI_UNLIMITED, an administrator can override that using the queue attribute CAPEXPRY. If an application didn't forget and has messages that should never be expired, they have no way to convey that their messages are different and should not have Expiry set. Request a new constant, e.g. MQEI_NEVER with value -2, that cannot be overridden by CAPEXPRY and implies Unlimited Expiry.

    I was actually imagining the situation where an MQ administrator does not realise that they shouldn't set CAPEXPRY on a queue - imagine they did it to the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.REPOSITORY.QUEUE as a thought experiment. How can an application protect itself against that situation?

    An interesting suggestion, but not something we would plan to do.

    If an application developer really wants to override the administratively-decided expiry, then they could instead ask for a different queue path without CAPEXPRY set.
