Use compress-function to get the id, than remove "gsr"+id from line to get EmpName.

data want;
   length 
      EmpName $ 100 
      Id $ 4
   ;
   input;

   Id = compress(_infile_, ' ', 'dkt');
   EmpName = strip(compbl(transtrn(_infile_, cats('gsr', Id), '')));

   datalines;
sriram bhayagari gsr4455
naveen gsr5566 allapuram
gsr6677 srinath thatipathri
;
run;
