{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **#PRIORITY** | Specifies a new priority level for the code following the #PRIORITY statement. |
| //number// | An integer constant in the range 1 to 10000. |
| **DESCRIPTION** | An optional description of the priority point. |
|  | //treedesc //is a string constant or expression that will appear in the embed tree for this priority point. |

The **#PRIORITY** statement specifies a new priority //number //for the code statements following the #PRIORITY.

#PRIORITY is only valid when used in the #AT/#ENDAT structure. It cannot exist within other nested structures contained within the #AT/#ENDAT structure (e.g., #PRIORITY cannot be placed inside of a #CASE/'#ENDCASE which is nested within a #AT/#ENDAT).

**Example:**

**#CONTROL(BrowseList,'Add Browse List controls')**

**  #AT(%ControlEvent,'?Insert','Accepted'),PRIORITY(5000)  #!Start at priority 5000**

**GlobalRequest = InsertRecord                              #!Goes into priority 5000**

** ****#PRIORITY****(8500)****,DESCRIPTION('Before calling update procedure')**

**%UpdateProc                                               #!Goes into priority 8500**

**  #ENDAT**
