Durations can be stored as date-time,  

 

34         data _null_;
35            dt = dhms('01jan2020'd,0,0,0);
36            duration = dhms(1,2,3,4);
37            x  = sum(dt,duration);
38            put (dt duration x) (=datetime22.) duration=time12.;
39            run;

dt=01JAN2020:00:00:00 duration=02JAN1960:02:03:04 x=02JAN2020:02:03:04 duration=26:03:04
