Not unless you expect to find them in your data.
If you were reading from a socket or something equally mysterious, data tranmission codes might be problematic, but if they won't be found in your text file you ought to be okay.

Subject: Re: Reading file with custom delimiter (> 1 character)
Are there any pratfalls to using ASCII actions as delimiters such as enquiry
(hex=05) or acknowledge (hex=06)?

Use TRANWRD to change the @@ to another single character, say tab and
specify tab as the delimiter:
data a;
infile cards dlm='09'x;
input @;
_infile_ = tranwrd(_infile_,'@@','09'x);
input var1 $ var2 $ var3 $;
cards;
ASDF@@1234@@qw@abc
vnmm@@23@45@@rtyu
run;
proc print;
run;

Subject: Reading file with custom delimiter (> 1character)
Hello all,
I need SAS (V8.2) to read data in a text file that uses a custom
delimiter of >1 character such as @@.
EX: JIM@@E@@JONES@@JJONES@MSN.COM
Is there an easy way to handle this rather unconventional data
structure? Thank you in advance!
