Here it is.

data temp;

dt = today();

call symput('dt1', catx('_', year(dt), put(month(dt),2.)));

call symput('dt2', catx('_', substr(put(dt,date9.),3,3), substr(put(dt,date9.),8,2)));

run;

%put &dt1= &dt2=;

Maybe this is what you mean.  Your question is somewhat vague.

18         %let given=%sysevalf('1nov2013'd);
19        
20         %let a = %sysfunc(putn(&given,yymon));
21         %let b = %sysfunc(putn(&given,monyy));
22         %put NOTE: &=a &=b;
NOTE: A=2013NOV B=NOV13
