BEEP
BEEP is a basic panel command that can be issued from any product panel. It is a toggle command that alternately disables and enables the terminal 'bell' feature. The beep sounds whenever a message is displayed and when an exception condition defined in a report is displayed.
When you use this product under TSO/ISPF, the product determines if beeping is supported by the terminal and defaults to either using beeps or not using beeps based on that information. Under native TSO, the product cannot make this determination and defaults to not using beeps. If you know that the terminal supports beeping, you can use this command to enable this feature.
You can also use this command at any time to disable beeping in situations where frequent messages or exceptions make the noise undesirable.
The setting does not remain in effect across user sessions.
