Date time informat that works when the date time lengths are different

For the following variable 'a', I need to use two informats to get the output I need. Is there any other format that can both OBS.

output needed;

Well, a simple conditional:

data one;
  input a $16.;
datalines;
2017-09-01T15:10
2017-09-04
;
run;

data two;
  set one;
  b=ifn(lengthn(a)=10,input(catx('T',a,"00:00"),e8601dt.),input(a,e8601dt.));
  format b datetime.;
run;

Its more or less the same thing however.
