Steve,
Thanks for your reply, I will definitely check out how the built in apps
handle this problem.
But please indulge me.....
My current problem is fairly typical. My program is being launched (in
response to a previously set alarm) with the sysAppLaunchCmdAlarmTriggered
launch code. The documentation suggests that I set the next alarm at this point.
In order to determine the next alarm, I need to access information that is
normally kept in global variables, but I (of course have no access). The only
things that I can see that could be done are to either access info from DBs
OR use Ardiri's trick
So I remain confused.
