Charles,

It's been a while but I'm 90% sure that LT= / TOD= cause the interval to expire 
at the time specified. Thus, if you specify a time that is earlier than the 
current time, the interval is considered to be expired.

Sorry that I can't be 100% definitive.

Subject: Can STIMERM TOD= an earlier time tomorrow?

Sorry if this in the Assembler Services Ref or Guide -- I didn't see it there.

Yes, I could run an experiment but I thought perhaps someone would know the 
answer off the top of their head.

I want to set an STIMERM for 00:00:00.01 tomorrow morning. Can I specify that 
with the TOD parameter and have it work, or do I have to compute the difference 
between "now" and then and specify it as a BINTVL=?

Another way of phrasing the question is "what does STIMERM do with a TOD= that 
is an earlier time of day than the time at which the macro is issued?
Treat it as an error, treat it as a NOP, treat the interval as just expired, or 
treat it as a time tomorrow?" (I really don't care about the detailed answer to 
this latter question beyond "treats it as a time tomorrow" versus "anything 
else.")

Thanks,

Charles Mills
