If the value for your date is already a SAS date and the time a SAS time value then you can create the date time variable in a data step with:

 

dtc = dhms(date,0,0,time);

and assign the desired format.

If Date and Time are indeed character variables then

 

tm = input(Time, hhmmss4.);
dt = dhms(input(Date, yymmdd8.), hour(tm), minute(tm), second(tm));
format dt e8601dt19.;
