This should give you what you want

 

data _null_;

	format datebit date9. timebit time.;
	dtime='08SEP09:15:50:02'dt;
	datebit=datepart(dtime);
	timebit=timepart(dtime);
	
	put datebit=;
	put timebit=;
run;

And what format is the data in?  Is it datetime or text?  This is where providing test data in the form of a datastep and what the required output should look like really helps.  If its datetime then use the datepart/timepart functions.  If its text, then use substr and input.

I am sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about.  Have a look at some of the other questions posted here for guidance on how to ask a question which provides all the information needed to give an answer, for example:

Note the test data datastep and what the output should look like.
