If your values are stored as SAS Datetime values then you can simply subtract the the later from the earlier Datetime value. This gives you the difference in seconds. Then apply whatever time format suits you best for printing the result.
data sample;
start_dttm='12MAY2019 23:15:00'dt;
stop_dttm='13MAY2019 00:15:00'dt;
diff=stop_dttm-start_dttm;
format diff hhmm5.;
output;
stop;
run;
Use INTCK Function with the 'dtminute' or 'dthour' as the first argument.
