data wt;
datenew=intnx('qtr','01jan94'd,1,'middle');
format datenew mmddyy10.;
run;
its output is coming as 05/16/1994 but qarter consists of 3 months so it should be 04/16/1994.
Please help me with this.

Why? The middle of the second quarter (months 4, 5 and 6) is the middle of month 5.

If you want 3 months from the date use MONTH and 3 instead of QTR. Also note that April has 30 days so it would be the 15th NOT the 16th. See the code and output below.
You need to tell it that is what you want.
data test1;
date = '01JAN1994'd ;
next_qtr = intnx('qtr','01jan94'd,1,'middle');
first_month_of_next_qtr = intnx('month',intnx('qtr','01jan94'd,1,'s'),0,'middle');
format _all_ yymmdd10.;
put (_all_) (=/);
run;
date=1994-01-01
next_qtr=1994-05-16
first_month_of_next_qtr=1994-04-15
