# RANK (Data: campaign.pcc)

## Status

## Syntax

`RANK:x`

## Parameters

- x: Number (Rank)

*** Updated 5.12 RC3

## What it does

Sets the priority in loading .pcc files. 1 is the highest priority and 9 is the lowest priority for loading .pcc files.

When PCGen encounters certain objects with duplicate names from different sources (such as Classes) the object in the source with the highest priority rank will be loaded while the duplicate will generate an error message (and will not be loaded).

It is recommended that all RANK numbers should be expressed a positive numbers as negative numbers will load before the positive.

Defaults to 9 if no RANK is set in the PCC file.

## Example

`RANK:1`

This pcc file is given first priority when loading.
