time needs to be in this format hhmmss with length 6

is there a format that would bring my current time 8:42:00 to  a 084200?

proc format;
   picture todx other='%0H%0M%0S' (datatype=time);
   run;
data _null_;
   x = time();
   put x=tod. x=todx.;
   run;

x=06:03:13 x=060313

Looking at the documentation I see that seconds with no decimal should be upper case S not lower case s which is for decimal seconds.  It may not make any difference but I would change to S.
