Hvis den skemalagte tid (inklusive eventuelle gentagelser) allerede er forbi, viser & kalarm; med det samme meddelelsen (hvis ikke værdien afbryd_ forsinket angiver at det nu er for sent at vise alarmen, når & kalarm; ignorerer forespørgsler). Hvis den skemalagte tid (eller en gentagelse) er i fremtiden, tilføjer & kalarm; alarmmeddelelsen til den aktive standardalarmressource for at vises senere.
If the scheduled time (including any repetitions) has already passed, & kalarm; immediately displays the message (unless the lateCancel value indicates that it is now too late to display the alarm, in which case & kalarm; ignores the request). If the scheduled time (or a repetition) is in the future, & kalarm; adds the alarm message to the default active alarm calendar for later display.
