Please try

data new;
infile cards missover;
input Id @3 Name $3. @17 Incentive : percent3. @9 Salary :comma9.;
Total=salary+salary*incentive;
cards;
1 Ram Rs250,100 44%
2 xyz Rs310,000 20%
3 Abc Rs420,000 30%
4 MMN Rs520,000 40%
;

@ holds the input record for the execution of the next INPUT statement within the same iteration of the DATA step. This line-hold specifier is called trailing @.
Thanks,
