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.
