I think on Unix, the argument is in milliseconds.
(In seconds in window)

Please confirm this by trying to increase the Unix argument in you test code (I have no Unix at hand)

Objet : Sleep function

The sleep function does not work on Unix (Sun Server). The code works in PC SAS. Wondering why?

UNIX SAS:
1          data _null_;
2          x=sleep(10);
3          run;

      cpu time           0.05 seconds


PC SAS:
1    data _null_;
2    x=sleep(10);
3    run;
