Hi,
Man, I hate it when I am making mistakes... The correct code is below:
Cheers,
Chang

proc format;
  picture yymmdt
    /* '01jan2000:00:00:01'dt - '31dec2100:00:00:00'dt */
    1262304001 - 4449513600 = '%0y%0m' (datatype=datetime) /* fixed */
    other = 'out of range'
  ;
  picture yymondt
    1262304001 - 4449513600 = '%0y%b' (datatype=datetime)
    other = 'out of range'
  ;
run;

data _null_;
  dt = '08feb2006:14:08:01'dt;
  put dt= :best. dt= :yymmn6. dt= :yymmdt. dt= :yymondt.;
run;
/* on log
dt=1455026881 dt=****** dt=0602 dt=06FEB
*/
