Parameter

delta-time

   Specifies a delta time interval in the following format. (A delta
   time is an offset from the current time to a time in the future.)

   hour:minute:second.hundredth

   The fields on the format line indicate the following:

   hour       Specifies an integer in the range 0 to 23.
   minute     Specifies an integer in the range 0 to 59.
   second     Specifies an integer in the range 0 to 59.
   hundredth  Specifies an integer in the range 0 to 99.

   The colons (:)  and period (.) are required delimiters; also, the
   delta time must begin with the number of hours and not a colon.
   Note that the days field, usually included in the delta time
   format, must be omitted here.

   For more information on specifying delta time values, see the
   OpenVMS User's Manual or the online help topic Date.

   Note that if you enter the WAIT command interactively, you are
   not prompted for a time value; however, in order for the command
   to have any effect, you must supply a time value.
