I think this is incorrect. There is nothing in the code that will cause a log for each subject to be generated.
With all suggested changes:
%macro caller();
%do j=1 %to &npts;
%if %sysfunc(mod(&j,3))=1 %then
%do;
proc printto new log ='"/ctshared/cdr/dev/RAMYA/archive/logfile_&j..log";
run;
%let rc=%sysfunc(sleep(60,1));
%end;
%looper(subject=&&pt&j.);
%end;
%mend caller();
Should be OK. Try it and see. Careful programming might eliminate an unnecessary SLEEP.
So that's closer. Now move the %LOOPER macro as @PaigeMiller suggested.
