John,
In case your date is really September 9, 2001 then use
data test;
x = input("01/09/2001", mmddyy11.) ; /*** Jan 9, 2001 ***/
y = input("01/9/2001" , mmddyy11.) ;
z = input("1/9/2001" , mmddyy11.) ;
w = input("1/09/2001" , mmddyy11.) ;
x1= input("01/09/2001", ddmmyy11.) ; /*** Sep 9, 2001 ***/
y1= input("01/9/2001" , ddmmyy11.) ;
z1= input("1/9/2001" , ddmmyy11.) ;
w1= input("1/09/2001" , ddmmyy11.) ;
format x y z w x1 y1 z1 w1 date9.;
run;
