I would like to know how to get the final few letters of a string?
You could always use substr using the length function to get the variable's starting point. e.g.:
data want;
set sashelp.class;
last3chars=substr(name,length(name)-2);
run;

If you want last n letters then you should start from length(of your variable)-n+1.
data want_last_2;
input AA $;
newaa=substr(aa,length(aa)-1);
