I want a1 a2 a3 to be appended into a single dataset using an array. Please, suggest.
Why not just use a SET statement?
data want ;
set a1-a3 ;
run;

That does not make any sense. The ARRAY statement in SAS is used as a way to make it easy to treat a series of variables as if they formed an array of values. It has nothing whatsoever to do with datasets.
Your code will produce 3 identical datasets, each containing 3 observations. If you want just one dataset, use
data A;
input x;
cards;
