data test;

input name $ age @@;

datalines;

;

run;

Regards,

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.

If your input looks that way, then the message is unavoidable and perfectly natural.

Unless you know beforehand the exact number of items in each 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.

Post your code and log, including the ERROR

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;
