This seems to work:

data example;
  infile datalines;
  input lastname :$10. firstname :$10.
        / deptid
        /salary :comma10.
  ;
  lastname = compress(lastname,',');
  format salary comma12.2;
datalines;

You would use an INFILE statement that points to your file and not include the DATALINES. You may want different informats for the names if you have longer actual names. This likely won't work for names with 3 or more parts.

The / in the INPUT statement basically says "read from next line".

If any of your data per person is more or less than 3 lines then this also will fail because it doesn't match the example shown.

You did not indicate whether the deptid should be character or numeric.
