That sounds more like a system function. at and cron are the utilities that provide that functionality in Unix/Linux. Both can be shelled from a process or thread. For Windows, that functionality belongs to the Windows Task Scheduler. How that would be called from a process or thread is beyond me.
IMO, you could in theory set up a hidden background process that creates the functionality you are looking for, but it would be both replicating a system function and using up unnecessary resources, as some part of the process would have to stay alive to monitor the system time.
If you find how to add a task to the Windows Task Scheduler from a process or thread, please post your findings!

Does anyone know the syntax to call a function that will create a new data file after a given time.
For example datafile2 will be created everyday after 20 hours or 10 hours. Any clue.
