You picked a good time to ask this.  Mike Raithel gave a nice talk
at SUGI 30 in Philadelphia, in which he discussed the %LOGPARSE
macro and its brethren with which it works.  I think this will do
what you're after.  Here's the URL:

The paper has instructions for downloading the macros and then
using them.
