There should be three variables as 'Name' 'ID' and 'Salary'

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I like to use a delimiter, but you can also do without (little code changes are needed then).

You can also use the 'datalines' keyword instead of 'cards'.

data have;
LENGTH NAME $ 12 ID $ 3 Salary 8; 
infile cards delimiter='|';
format Salary comma10.2; 
input Name $ ID $ Salary :comma10.;
Name=strip(Name);
cards;
