Would something like the following suffice?:

data want (drop=i classes);
informat classes $30.;
array class(3) $10.;
input name $ classes &;
classes=compress(classes,'"');
do i=1 to 3;
class(i)=scan(classes,i);
end;
cards;
ram "history,math geography"
hari "physics,, math chemistry"
;
run;

HTH,

How about this:
[pre]
data want(drop=row);
infile "c:\rawdata.txt" length=len;
input row $varying200. len;
want_row=compbl(translate(scan(row,2,'"'),' ',','));
run;
[/pre]
