What do the T's represent?
Why don't you just ignore them?

data test;
  string='13010240';
  time=input(string,hhmmss6.);
  put time= time=time12.3;
run;
619  data test;
620    string='13010240';
621    time=input(string,hhmmss6.);
622    put time= time=time12.3;
623  run;

time=46862 time=13:01:02.000

If they mean 100's of a second then read them separately.

 

634  data test;
635    string='13010240';
636    time=input(string,hhmmss6.)+input(substr(string,7),2.2);
637    put time= time=time12.3;
638  run;

time=46862.4 time=13:01:02.400
