Trying heavily to infer your request from the fragments of orthography that you posted, and presuming a grep with the -A option, I came up with
Code:
date +"%H%MX" | sort - file | grep -A1 X | tail -1
1922

You could also try using awk, here we presume your input file is sorted as per the example:

Code:
awk -v NOW=$(date +"%H%M") '$1 > NOW { print ; exit }' infile
