If you have the number 20,070,102 and you want to treat the digits from the hundreds and thousands place as a month then just use some arithmetic to get the value.

 

data x;
  input number comma10.;
  month = mod(int(number/100),100);
  put (number month) (=);
cards;
20,070,102
20131201
;

I guess you want first to change the numeric to SAS date and then get the MONTH from the SAS date. Here is one way.

data _null_;
dt =  20070102;
date = input(put(dt,8.),yymmdd10.);
month = month(date);
put date = month =;
run;
