Simon,

The ALARM sounds (if supported by the device) when the record format is DISPLAYED--not when it is written. Default behaviour is for writes to be deferred until a request for user input occurs. Solutions are:
1) Force the ALARM record format to the device: FRCDTA DDS keyword
2) Don't defer writes: DFRWRT(*NO) on CRTDSPF or CHGDSPF

It works great and does exactly what I need. Ding ding!

Thanks for your help,
