data have (drop=t);

First, note that dates should be numeric, not character.  So this DATA step would need to change:

data want; 
input d $ date9.; 
datalines; 
20may2021
 ;

Get rid of the dollar sign and apply a format:

data want; 
input d date9.;
format d date9.; 
datalines; 
20may2021
 ;

Second, note that you don't have to read in everything on the line.  You can pick and choose.  So this DATA step still works when the data contains the time and you only want the date:

data want; 
input d date9.;
format d date9.; 
datalines; 
20may2021 05:15
 ;
