I found the reply helpful, but it is difficult to read the answer in current alignment. Hence, I am wring the same answer with proper alignment.

data _NULL_;
          format dt datetime20. dt2 E8601DT20. ;
          dt=datetime();
          dt2=dt;

          txt=put(dt,datetime20.);
          txt2=put(dt2,E8601DT20.);
          put txt= txt2=;
