Here you go:

data have;

format datetime datetime.;

datetime = today();

run;

data want;

set have;

date = datepart(datetime);

hour = hour(datetime);

min = minute(datetime);

sec = second(datetime);

run;

Hello,

If your data is in character format, you always could use the SCAN function, with ":" as delimiter and select the position that you want

data want;

set have;

format WANT_var $20. hours minutes seconds $2.;

hours=scan(time,1,':');

minutes=scan(time,2,':');

seconds=scan(time,3,':');

WANT_var=hours||" hrs, "||minutes||" min and "||seconds||" seconds;

run;
