@novinosrin: Thanks, but I'd already read that, as well as the documentation. Neither provides (for me at least) enough info to let me know exactly why and how the colon modifier works. Without testing it, presume that the input file actually had three comma separated dates. Without testing it, would you expect the following to correctly input all three dates?:
DATA presidents;
INFILE '/folders/myshortcuts/SASScripts/RawData/aaaa.csv' DLMSTR=',' FIRSTOBS=2;
INPUT TookOffice DDMMYY10. LeftOffice : DDMMYY10. thirddate ddmmyy10.;
RUN;
