5848.0. "DECW$clock and alarm - daily audio file does not play anymore after 32 days" by VELI::KORKKO (Veli K�rkk� @FNO, 879-5512) Fri May 16 1997 03:33

DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 plus latest eco (is that ALPMOTF01_U4012?) running
on a DEC 3000-300X, OpenVMS V7.1.

Setting are:


Clock.Clock.militaryOn: 1
Clock.Clock.audioOn:    1
Clock.Clock.audioDirMask:       DECW$EXAMPLES:*.AUD
Clock.Clock.alarmPM:    0
Clock.Clock.audioVolume:        81
Clock.Clock.alarmHour:  15
Clock.Clock.analogOn:   1
Clock.Clock.speakerOn:  1
Clock.Clock.digitalOn:  0
Clock.Clock.audioFilename:      SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DECW]DOG-HOWL.AUD;1
Clock.Clock.bellOn:     1
Clock.Clock.menubarOn:  0
Clock.Clock.dateOn:     1
Clock.Clock.title:      Clock
Clock.Clock.alarmMinute:        00
Clock.Clock.repeatOn:   1
Clock.Clock.alarmMessage:
Clock.Clock.alarmOn:    1
Clock.geometry: 161x191+11+36

I.e. daily 04:00pm play the dog-howl file through internal speaker. This has
been working quite a few weeks. This morning however I see error message on
the screen so it did not work anymore yesterday (or previous day either)


	Clock: Information Message

		Open File Error.

	Could not open the audio file.
	Please check the filename  or other errors and try again.


Needless to say, clicking Alarm, Plat produces the very same message box.

Starting another clock and it just works beautifully. I have had this "clock"
running now 32 days 20 minutes. So maybe I see this problem again as I now
started "new" clock.

Yes, ALPMOTF01_U4012 is the latest ECO kit.

I'd suggest entering a QAR in the DECW-SSB database.
