Your data step does not create data similar to your picture. This does:

data AE;
   infile datalines dlm=',';
input USUBJID :$3. AEBODSYS :$30. AEDECOD :$20. ;
datalines;
101,Cardiac disorders,Atrial flutter
101,Gastrointestinal disorders,Constipation
102,Cardiac disorders,Cardiac failure
102,Psychiatric disorders,Delirium
103,Cardiac disorders,Palpitations
103,Cardiac disorders,Palpitations
103,Cardiac disorders,Tachycardia
run;

Your code was reading from fixed columns. If it worked before you pasted it to the forum you need to know that the main message windows reformat text and will remove repeated blanks and other forms of "white space". So it is best to place code in to a text box opened on the forum as above to keep formatting.

Data almost certainly should stay in the current form for any sort of analysis.

Can you describe how you intend to use that data with all the variable in one column?

If you need groups for analysis or reporting your data may already be as you need.

Example simple report:

Proc tabulate data=AE;
   Class  AEBODSYS  AEDECOD ;
   table  AEBODSYS * AEDECOD,
         n
   ;
run;
