First of all, I am not awared of the existance of such a format, but at the same time, I am very ill-informed. Therefore I had to hard-code the following solution:

data want (drop=dob1);

input Stname $  DOB &$25.;

dob1=input(dob,datetime20.);

dob_final=catx(' ',put(datepart(dob1),mmddyy10.),put(timepart(dob1),time.));

cards;

A            01mar2005 01:02:04

B            13dec 2001 05:04:06

;

proc print;run;
