How to read the QueueEntryID , JobID and JobPartID in response messages

The response message to the command SubmitQueueEntry only contains a QueueEntryID. The QueueEntryID is the unique ID of the job generated by PRISMAdirect. However, a job in PRISMAdirect must be part of an order. You can use the response message to the query QueueStatus to identify which job or jobs belong to which order. This response message contains three IDs: QueueEntryID, JobID and JobPartID. The JobPartID identifies the order.
