Input function, informat and format

[cx2019]

There is a variable ttime in character form in table A, which represents the transaction time. The content is as follows:
09-05-21
10-56-34
15-23-47

The digits separated are respectively hours, minutes, and seconds.

(1) Write the data stepthat converts ttime to a time variable.
(2)To see the value of the ttime in time format, write the format statement.
