Clark,
We simply can't start a Monday off on such a note. So I have no choice but
to mention a SAS Wakeup function that you likely didn't know about:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/18270529/219-HO-SAS-ACBICC-073102
And, to save you from having to read the documentation: "the SAS Wake-Up
Function Wake-up causes SAS module (N51) to monitor vehicle ride height and
adjust as needed dependent on vehicle load changes."

specify when it is to resume executing?
>>
>>The WAKEUP function directs SAS to put your program to sleep for the
duration that you specify within the function. When that duration has
passed, your SAS program wakes up and continues to execute, starting with
the statements found directly after the statement containing the WAKEUP
function.

>>You can specify a date-time value, a time (in hours), or the number of
seconds before/after midnight for SAS to wait until waking up and running
the rest of your program. Here is an example of each:

>>dozeuntil = wakeup("04JUL2011:12:00:00"dt);
>>put "The 4th of July picnic is just starting.";
>>run;
>>
>>data _null_;
>>dozeuntil = wakeup("22:30:00"t);
>>put "Time for the Letterman show!";
>>run;
>>
>>data _null_;
>>dozeuntil = wakeup(120);
>>put "It is 2-hours past midnight!";
>>run;
>>
>>
>>data _null_;
>>dozeuntil = wakeup(-120);
>>put "It is 2-hours until midnight!";
>>run;

>>There are more nuances to the WAKEUP function than can be covered in a
simple tip, including limits on the durations that you can specify. Check
