Ya,
Would something like the following suffice or does it fit into the
category you would like to avoid?
data _null_;
infile cards truncover;
informat a $100.;
input a &;
do i=1 to 99;
x= scan(a,i,"/");
if x eq "" then i=99;
else put x;
end;
cards;
first line / second line
first line / second line/third line
;
