Converting data from a text field to a formatted field date - SAS

i am reading data in from a text field where  it is entered in different formats.

     i.e      1-1.11
               1-01-2011
               1/1/2011

I need the output to  be in format  mm/dd/yyyy  01/01/2011

Is there a way to do this with the inconsistencies in data input?
