MSP430FR5739 Alarm Setup

Hi everyone;

I am trying to get the alarm to work properly on my msp430fr5739 but unfortunately it seems that every time the alarm is supposed to trigger, the processor just ignores it.  I believe that I am setting up the registers incorrectly but I haven't been able to figure out how they need to be configured.  This is the code I'm currently using

void RTC_init(void)
{
RTCCTL01 |= RTCHOLD + RTCRDYIE + RTCAIE;        // hold rtc for setting; enable rtc ready interrupt; 1sec
RTCSEC = 0;
RTCMIN = 0;
RTCHOUR = 0;
RTCAMIN = 1;
RTCAHOUR = 0;
RTCCTL01 &= ~(RTCHOLD + RTCAIFG);                       // release rtchold, begin count
}

// clock init
void CS_init(void)
{
PJSEL0 |= BIT4 + BIT5;                                      // XT1
CSCTL0_H = 0xA5; // Unlock register
CSCTL1 |= DCOFSEL0 + DCOFSEL1;           // Set max. DCO setting
CSCTL2 = SELA_0 + SELS_3 + SELM_3;     // set ACLK = XT1; MCLK = DCO
CSCTL3 = DIVA_0 + DIVS_0 + DIVM_0;         // set all dividers
CSCTL4 |= XT1DRIVE_0;
CSCTL4 &= ~XT1OFF;

do
{
CSCTL5 &= ~XT1OFFG;                    // Clear XT1 fault flag
SFRIFG1 &= ~OFIFG;
}while (SFRIFG1&OFIFG);                 // Test oscillator fault flag
CSCTL0_H = 0x01;                             // Lock Register
}

// RTC_b isr

#pragma vector=RTC_VECTOR
__interrupt void rtc_isr(void)
{

switch(__even_in_range(RTCIV,0x12))
{
case RTCIV_NONE: break;                           // No interrupt
case RTCIV_RTCRDYIFG:                            // rtc ready
while (!(RTCRDY));
PJOUT ^= BIT0;

sec = RTCSEC;
min = RTCMIN;
hrs = RTCHOUR;

break;

case RTCIV_RTCTEVIFG:               // rtc interval timer

// do nothing here for now

break;

case RTCIV_RTCAIFG:
PJOUT ^= BIT2;
timeToSend = 1;
break;                                                       // rtc user alarm
case RTCIV_RT0PSIFG: break;         // rtc prescaler 0
case RTCIV_RT1PSIFG: break;         // rtc prescaler 1
case RTCIV_RTCOFIFG: break;        // rtc oscillator fault
default: break;

}

}

According to the user's guide, as well as a few examples I've sen I need to use the AE (alarm enable bit) for the respective alarm registers.  However, AE does not exist in the msp430fr5739.h file.  Most of the set-ups that I have seen for similar micro-controllers look something like this

RTCAMIN = AE | (timer & 0x7F);

with "timer" being the value at which you want to trigger the alarm interrupt.  

Does anyone know if there is an equivalent AE bit in the msp430fr5739.h file? or am I doing something else incorrectly that anyone can point out?

Please tell me what I am missing here, or any advice that you think would be helpful

Thanks
