What about this:

data test;
length c $12
       d $8;
input c $12.;
d=put(input(c, anydtdte12.), yymmdd8.);
cards;
Nov 7, 1948
May 27, 1947
Feb 13, 1953
;

 Or a bit shorter (if your dates are raw data):

data test;
length d $8;
input c anydtdte12.;
d=put(c, yymmdd8.);
cards;
Nov 7, 1948
May 27, 1947
Feb 13, 1953
;
