could you try the tab delimitation '09'x

 

data Orders;
    infile "C:/Users/100355202/Desktop/Orders.txt" dsd dlm = "09"x;
    input OrderID CustomerID :$20. EmployeeID :$20. OrderDate :mmddyy10. 
          RequiredDate :mmddyy10. ShippedDate :mmddyy10. ShipVia Freight 
          ShipName :$20. ShipAddress :$20. ShipCity :$20. ShipRegion :$20. 
          ShipPostalCode :$20. ShipCountry :$20. ;
