proc format; 
   picture todx other='%0H%0M%0S' (datatype=time);
   run; 
data _null_; 
   x = time();
   put x=tod. x=todx.; 
   run; 

x=06:03:13 x=060313

Looking at the documentation I see that seconds with no decimal should be upper case S not lower case s which is for decimal seconds.  It may not make any difference but I would change to S.
