There a probably a number of ways. One might be something like:
[pre]
data need;
infile "c:\test.txt";
length id $3;
length studentname $10;
input;
if _infile_ ne "" then do;
if anydigit(substr(_infile_,1,1)) then do;
id=scan(_infile_,1);
studentname=scan(_infile_,2);
age=input(scan(_infile_,3),best12.);
weight_pounds=input(scan(_infile_,4),best12.);
output;
end;
end;
run;
[/pre]
