Not INFORMAT reading is not the issue.  You want to SEE it with leading zeros.

FORMAT AGE z5.;

You might want to consult the documentation!

If it's for display purposes and you want to keep the id column as numeric, then just use the Zw.d format which pads the values with leading zeros.

e.g. format id z5.;

By the way, in your required output, you've added 4 zeros not 3.
