Hi:
Look at the ANYDTDTE informat. It reads dates in a variety of input formats.

on SAS9.2, that can be read with informat date12.
as demo in this log snippet:[pre]46 data ;
47 input ndate date12. @1 card $char20. ;
48 put 'card=' card $char20. ndate= date9. ;
49 cards ;

card= 1jan22 ndate=01JAN1922
card= 21jun09 ndate=21JUN2009
card= 22-jun-08 ndate=22JUN2008
card= 11-Jun-2009 ndate=11JUN2009
card= 12Jun-2009 ndate=12JUN2009
card= 13-Jun2009 ndate=13JUN2009
NOTE: The data set WORK.DATA6 has 6 obs[/pre]
Does it also work in SAS913?

Yes - the results were equivalent with SAS 9.1.3 SP4.
