If your data is horizontal and you don't want to transpose it just use the skewness function like so (I've added an extra row as your data shows a skewness of zero) otherwise you'll have to do a transposition.

 

data have;
	infile datalines dlm=",";
	input x1 x2 x3 x4;
	datalines;
10,20,30,40
20,30,40,50
2,3,4,90
;
run;

data want;
	set have;
	skew=skewness(x1,x2,x3,x4);
run;
