Would the IS8601DT format suite your needs. You can associate this
format with all datetime variable in all data sets. Then it is the
"default" when using proc print or any other proc.
If this is not suitable you can create a PICTURE format that will
display dates, times, and datetimes in almost any arrangement you can
imagine.
data dt;
dt='21MAY2007:17:37:00'dt;
format dt is8601dt.;
run;
proc print;
run;
2007-05-21T17:37:00
