RE: Playing sounds on error

I found somewhat of a solution using PC commands:
PGM        PARM(&SOUNDCODE)                              
 DCL        VAR(&SOUNDCODE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)           
 DCL        VAR(&PLAY2) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(128) +            
              VALUE('c:\windows\system32\sndrec32.exe +   
              -play -close "C:\Sounds\')                  
 CHGVAR     VAR(&PLAY2) VALUE(&play2 *tcat &soundcode +   
              *tcat '.wav"')                              
 STRPCO     PCTA(*NO)                                     
 MONMSG     MSGID(IWS4010)                                
 STRPCCMD   PCCMD(&PLAY2) PAUSE(*NO)                      

This will work as long as each PC has a directory Sounds with every .wav
file I play.  

The only problem is the sound recorder displays on the screen while it's
playing the .wav file.  Does anyone know how to pass a parm or something so
that is in background only?

Thanks,

Craig

That's what I was going to suggest only I would use the PC-Engine for this.
Much more flexibility.  Www.turbogorilla-software.com.

    Another alternative would be the use of the STRPCO/STRPCCMD combination
of
    commands. If the applications are controling the error processing, you
    could send a PCCMD string into the STRPCCMD command identifying a wav
file
    using the command string of "sndrec32 chimes.wav" to play the chimes wav
    file as an example. The pc application name would vary based on audio
    player of choice.
    
    It would take a lot a special programming in order to accomplish that.
