Dan already provide a good solution. In case you are not familiar
with the date/time functions, here is how you can get the year,month,
day and hour:

data want;
do dt='01Jan05:00:00'dt to '31Dec07:23:59'dt by 3600;
year=year(datepart(dt));
month=month(datepart(dt));
day=day(datepart(dt));
hour=hour(timepart(dt));
output;
end;
drop dt;
run;

proc print;
run;
