Is time a character or numeric variable?

 

Either way, do something like this

 

data have;
   Time=515;
   CharTime=put(Time, 4.);
   RightTime=input(put(Time, 4.), hhmmss5.);
   format RightTime time5.;
run;

Assuming your existing variable is actually numeric here is an example:

data junk;
   x=515;
   x=input(put(x,z4.),hhmmss.);
   format x time5.;
run;

You could always just roll your own format. e.g.:

proc format; 
   picture todx other='%0H:%0M' (datatype=time);
run;

data junk;
   x=515;
   x=input(put(x,z4.),hhmmss.);
   format x todx.;
run;
