sas function sound

[LineMoon]

Hello,

When I write this

data _null_;

call sound(659,200);

call sound(587,200);

run;

Sas does not make a sound ?

I want to make a sound for

- the end of the execution of sas program

- sound for error or warning.

Your program is correct, but the sound is made on the SAS server. You won't hear it if you are running SAS in a client-server mode such as through Enterprise Guide (EG).

So if I send a program like that to the server, wherever the server is, it's making some sort of noise?

[FriedEgg]

Lol, it's possible, but highly unlikely, since the server is unlikely to have any hardware to actually produce the sound with.

[Reeza]

Damn, there goes my plans for fun. Though the servers are probably in a room where people don't go on a regular basis.

At least my IBM pSeries can and does make beeps. Would only be useful for guiding service technicians to the correct box.

I have used this code on SEG on server

[FriedEgg]

As stated, since you are using a remote server, you will not be able to use the CALL SOUND sub-routine to play sounds on your client machine (through SEG).

[LineMoon]

Thank you.

Is there any solution ?

[Kurt_Bremser]

No. This would need an extension of the EG's capabilities, so you might add an "idea" here in the EG sub-community.

BTW it should not really be hard to do, as EG already reacts to the completion of a task and determines (from the log) if the run was successful.
