Question is, do you really have time-variables? Not chracter variables
which look like time variable?
If that is the case, you should convert that to real time-variables:

data a;
  x="16:23";
  y="17:10:07";
  tx=input(x,time10.);
  ty=input(y,time10.);
  put tx time8.;
  put ty time8.;
run;

If you have already numeric time - variables, siply assign a wider time-
format. time8. should do what you want.
