I want to run the following code:

data _null_;
a='August 24, 2010';
format b date9.;
b=input(a, worddate20.);
put a= b=; run;


It showed the message in the Log window:
NOTE 485-185: Informat WORDDATE was not found or could not be loaded.


Could you help me out this?

Thanks in Advance.

You need an informat rather than a format. You could use:
[pre]
data _null_;
a='August 24, 2010';
format b date9.;
b=input(a, anydtdte20.);
put a= b=; run;
[/pre]
