SAS date input

Hello,

I am trying to input some dates using input datatement. Here is raw data&colon;

Date

12/10/2014

1/1/2015

9/30/2015

As you can see, the date could be any length(10, 9, or 8), and as a result, mmddyy8. or mmddyy10. will not work.

Is there a way to input such mixed formated dates?
