:-)  Monday....

&sysdate is fixed when a SAS session starts;
option dtReset has no effect on &systime ;
try
option dtReset;  %put &systime %sysfunc( datetime(), datetime);

It does have effect on the time reported on a title line.
option dtReset ;
title "%sysfunc( datetime(), datetime)   &systime ";
proc print data= sashelp.class(obs=1); run;

So I conclude that the option dtReset does not affect &systime and
&sysdate .
