Reading dates in to SAS

Steelersgirl — Tue, 13 Nov 2018 18:51:58 GMT

I am trying to read a data set in to SAS that includes dates. I have been trying the following code, but it isn't working.

DATA baseball;
 FILENAME webpage URL 'http://people.stat.sc.edu/hitchcock/baseballroster.txt';
 INFILE webpage missover;
 INPUT name $ 1-15 height 19-22 weight 24-26 position $ 29-38 yearsonteam @40 birthday MMDDYY8. 42-49 starting MMDDYY8. 51-58;
 RUN;
 
 PROC PRINT DATA=baseball;
 RUN;
