Hi,
Currently there is a schedule that automatically runs SAS programs at 12:00 am every morning. I've included the following code to delay it until 3 pm but it has not worked.
I don't see anything wrong with the logic, but how it works in practice might be different. What does 'has not worked' mean? It would be better to create a new 3pm schedule.
If you submit it after 3PM (as I just did!) your interval will be negative. Here's a fix to move it to the NEXT 3PM.

data _null_;
starttime=hms(23, 00, 00);
if time() < starttime start=DHMS(DATE(), 0, 0, starttime);
else start=DHMS(DATE()+1, 0, 0, starttime);
wait_sec=start-datetime();
zzz=sleep(wait_sec,1);
run;
