Read file without delimiters (as a single column) in SAS

I have an xml file that I need to read as a single column table. Now, to achieve the result I embed following line into INFILE statement:

dlmstr='nodlmstr'

I have not found any appropriate option that would let me do it more accurately.

I don't think you need an option at all. Just create your 1 variable with enough length to hold the line.

data _null_;
file "c:\temp\test.xml";
put "<a>";
put "  <aa>1 </aa>";
put "  <bb>2</bb>";
put "</a>";
run;

data test;
infile "c:\temp\test.xml";
format line $2000.;
input;
line = _infile_;
run;
