ALARM

Syntax: ALARM hour,minutes
Location: Toolkit II

This command creates a Job at low priority which makes the QL sound several beeps when the alarm time is reached and then removes itself. Naturally, this facility only works if the system clock is correct.

The hour is based on the 24 hour clock and must therefore be specified in the range 0...23 and the minutes in the range 0...59.

Example:
Set an alarm for 7.35pm:      ALARM 19,35

CROSS-REFERENCE:
Set the system clock with SDATE, adjust it with ADATE.
Alarm jobs can be killed by using RJOB for example.
