There is piece of code after the program is is fully executed with output i want a sound.

Call sound doesnot work already tried.

 

THE CODE IS:-

%macro alarm(hr=,min=);
data _null_;
%do %while(1);
%let x=%sysfunc(datetime());
%let y=%sysfunc(hour(&x));
%let z=%sysfunc(minute(&x));
%if &y.=&hr. and &z.=&min. %then %goto exit;
%end;
%exit:
%put "WAKE UP ITS TIME";
%put %str(&y.:&z.);
Run;
%mend;

%alarm(hr=22,min=11);

How is your SAS installation set up?
I'm assuming this is not on Academics on Demand?

With SAS Studio and your SAS session running on a remote location, call sound or similar techniques aren't possible. You won't be able to tell SAS to trigger a sound that you hear on your local machine.

 

Alternative ways to notify yourself that a job is complete: tell SAS to send an email, or a text/SMS message (using the email trick), or send a message to a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel.

I don't know about sounds via Studio, but as a side note, rather than use this infinite loop you might want to use the SLEEP or WAKEUP functions which are designed for this purpose, and should consume less resources.
