Cards (Datalines) Statement Help

[buechler66]

Hi. I have the following cards statement, but I can't figure out how to read in the date column (CL_FROM_DT) as a SAS date instead of a character string.  I'd appreciate the help.  Thanks.

DATA HAVE;
LENGTH ID_NUM $ 10 ENRLMT_NUM $ 9 CL_FROM_DT $ 9;
INPUT ID_NUM $ B_ID $ ENRLMT_NUM $ CL_FROM_DT $ H_CD $;
DATALINES;
