Dear Dom,

are you looking for something like:

FUNCTION wait_until_daytime,day_time

ask_time = string2js(day_time)
time_now = string2js(/now)

IF ask_time lt time_now THEN return,0

WHILE time_now LT ask_time DO time_now = string2js(/now)

RETURN,1
END

result=wait_until_daytime('2001-09-20 13:35:00 000')
