not to worry, SAS has a number of round flat things
with hole in middle
see formats: timeW.d and timeAMPMw.d
%LET TIME = %sysfunc(time(),time8.0) ; %*HH:MM:SS;
%LET TIME_HH = %scan(&TIME.,1,:) ;
%LET TIME_MM = %scan(&TIME.,2,:) ;
%LET TIME_SS = %scan(&TIME.,3,:) ;
%LET TIMEAMPM = %sysfunc(time(),timeAMPM8.0); %*HH:MM AM;
