A datetime value will always have a time component; if you want to keep a missing time component as such, you have to store date and time in separate variables.

What format is your data source? Remote database, text file, Excel?

Is it a STRING ?

input x $40.;
want=prxchange("s/:00'$/'/",1,strip(x));

'2019-03-30T20:39:00'
'2019-01-30T19:15:00'
