Try this:

data _null_;

window test irow=35 icolumn=3 rows=10 columns=60

#3 "This window will be closed in 10 seconds automaticaly!"

;

display test blank NOINPUT;

rc=sleep(10);

stop;

run;

The SLEEP function will also display another window but you can use the NOSLEEPWINDOW option when you start SAS to turn this off.
