Your infile statement should read

Filename Getdate ' put the path of your file here ';

Data ReadData;
INFILE GETDATA DLM='09'X   DSD MISSOVER;
Input ....  ;

"Getdata" may be any fileref that you wish to use. The '09'x is the
hexadecimal representation of a tab character.

To write a tab delimited file, the File statement should be similar to

File Out DLM = '09'x dsd;
