Loop thru Status table and start job

Question

I have a STATUS Tbl, that has a field called CompleteDate.Only if the CompleteDate field has TODAYS Today, then I want to proceed with my ssis task, to
insert data in some tables. If the CompleteDate Is not yet todays date, then I want to check the status table again every 10 minutes, until the CompleteDate
changes to TODAYS Date. THEN Start my insert process after that.
select
Max(convert(varchar(10),
CompleteDate, 121))
from Db.dbo.StatusTable
I used the WAITFOR DELAY But that doesnot help.
Any idea. here is the code I am using BUT THAT Comes out of the LOOP and does not keep rechecking the satus table
declare
@MaxDt  varchar(10)
set @MaxDt=(select
max(convert(varchar(10),
CompleteDate, 121))
from DB.dbo.StatusTable)
--select @MaxDt
DECLARE
@flg BIT
SET
@flg = 0
BEGIN
IF
EXISTS
SELECT
CASE
WHEN @MaxDt
>=convert(varchar(10),
getdate(), 121)
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END     
SET @flg
= 1
WAITFOR
END
set
DELAY
'00:10:00'

>If the CompleteDateIs not yet todays date, then I want to check the status table again every 10 minutes,
It is safer to setup the stored procedure as a scheduled job without the WAITFOR.
BOL: " Creating Jobs
A job is a specified series of operations performed sequentially by SQL Server Agent. A job can perform a wide range of activities, including running Transact-SQL scripts, command prompt applications, Microsoft ActiveX scripts, Integration Services packages,
Analysis Services commands and queries, or Replication tasks. Jobs can run repetitive or schedulable tasks, and they can automatically notify users of job status by generating alerts, thereby greatly simplifying SQL Server administration.
To create a job, a user must be a member of one of the SQL Server Agent fixed database roles or the sysadmin fixed server role. A job can be edited only by its owner or members of the sysadmin role. For more information about the SQL Server Agent fixed database
roles, see SQL Server Agent Fixed Database Roles.
Jobs can be written to run on the local instance of SQL Server or on multiple instances across an enterprise. To run jobs on multiple servers, you must set up at least one master server and one or more target servers. For more information about master and
target servers, see Automating Administration Across an Enterprise"
