I am trying to read date and time into one variable which is in below format DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM
eg: 18-08-2017 20:55
informat Modified_DateTime datetime.;
input Modified_DateTime 1-17;
Did you try the anydtdtm. informat?
data junk;
x="18-08-2017 20:55";
y=input(x, anydtdtm.);
format y datetime.;
run;
So, how is it going?
Given your code snippet, your informat doesn't match your source data.
Find a more appropriate format in the SAS informat documentation.

x="18-08-2017 20:55";
y=input(x, anydtdtm.);
format y datetime.;
