It might not be worth the trouble, but here's something you can try. 

 

data want;

infile cards truncover;

input @1  @ ;

nrecs = countw(_infile_) / 2;

do _n_=1 to nrecs;

   input name $ age @ ;

   output;

end;

drop nrecs;

datalines;

What message?  The only message I see is informational:

 

NOTE: SAS went to a new line when INPUT statement reached past the end of a line.
NOTE: The data set WORK.TEST has 6 observations and 2 variables.

Yes you are right.  Then what can i do to eliminate this note:

SAS went to a new line when INPUT statement reached past the end of a line.

You can consider the NONOTES option, but it seems like overkill because it suppresses all notes.

The list of options related to the LOG are in the link below.
