It can be done like below.

 

But why do you want your data like this? Does not seem logical?

 

data tab1;
input NAME1 $ NUMBER1; 
datalines;
John 145
Max 200
;

data tab2;
input NAME2 $ NUMBER2;
datalines;
Johny 1415
Maximus 4200
Vince 765
;

data tab3;
input NAME3 $ NUMBER3;
datalines;
Johnatan 145
Bruce 200
;

data want;
	merge tab1-tab3;
run;

It's because I have more than 500 obersations in each data (tab1, tab2, tab3)

Yeah, but why the wide structure that only makes your work more tedious in the future?

I'd much prefer

data want;
set
  tab1 (rename=(name1=name number1=number))
  tab2 (rename=(name2=name number2=number))
  tab3 (rename=(name3=name number3=number))
;
run;

To get a unified table.
