I dont think there is an is8601dt informat to convert to a date numeric variable before you apply is8601dt  format 

You prolly need E8601DTw.d informat . Correct me if i am wrong

I'm a little confused by your log and the format of the original values.  Doesn't something like this work?

 

data d;
 exstdtc = "2003-03-26T09:00";
 tr02sdtm = input (exstdtc,is8601dt.);
 format tr02sdtm is8601dt.;
run;

unexpected leading or trailing blanks maybe causing the missing values. use COMPRESS() and check.

data test;
var1='		2003-03-26T09:00';
var2='2003-03-26T09:00';
need1=input(var1,is8601dt.);
need2=input(var2,is8601dt.);
run;
