This seems working on your as-is data:
DATA TEST;
INFILE CARDS TRUNCOVER;
INPUT VAR $100.;
DIGITS=prxchange('s/^\d+\D+|\D+$//o',-1,var);
CARDS;
43534-PP - ABCDEF 150 ABC ABCD
07052-TT - ABCD 100 ABCDEFG
83092-DD - ABCDEFG 540 ABCDEFRGTH

Or just use scan, nice one xia keshan.
Alternatively, without perl:
data test;
infile cards truncover;
input var $100.;
digits=compress(scan(var,3,'-'),' ','a');
cards;
43534-PP - ABCDEF 150 ABC ABCD
07052-TT - ABCD 100 ABCDEFG
83092-DD - ABCDEFG 540 ABCDEFRGTH
;
run;
DATA TEST;
INFILE CARDS TRUNCOVER;
INPUT VAR $100.;
DIGITS=scan(var,2,,'kd');
CARDS;
43534-PP - ABCDEF 150 ABC ABCD
07052-TT - ABCD 100 ABCDEFG
83092-DD - ABCDEFG 540 ABCDEFRGTH

Nice. Never see 'kd' option in SCAN(). Thanks for sharing!
Well in this case, depending on OP's rules, DIGITS=scan(var,-1,,'kd'); will also be OK.
