Subject:      comma-delimited input question

I'm reading a WWW server log file, which is comma-delimited, so I use the
DLM=',' option on the INFILE statement.  However, some of the data items
are long character strings containing commas themselves.  Then I noticed
that if it's really a delimiter separating two data fields, it always has
', ' (comma, space).  So my question is, is there a way to tell this to
SAS, or do I have to read the data as long $200 strings and parse it
myself?
Thanks for any insights.
