How about this :
data a; input info $ 1-50; cards; 101 pencil 57 102 parker pen 24 103 hp studion shuffle n 10 104 samsung galexy ace 29 ; run; data b; set a; dep_id =scan(info,1,' '); dept_name=substr(info,findc(info,' ')+1,findc(trim(info),' ','b') - length(dep_id)-1 ); dep_qty=substr(info,findc(trim(info),' ','b')+1); run;
OR this one :
data a; input info $ 1-50; cards; 101 pencil 57 102 parker pen 24 103 hp studion shuffle n 10 104 samsung galexy ace 29 ; run; data b; set a; dep_id =scan(compress(info,' ','kd'),1,' '); dept_name=compress(info,' ','ka'); dep_qty=scan(compress(info,' ','kd'),-1,' '); run;

You might want to introduce a dedicated delimiter into the input data, like the colon. Then you can use the dlm= option in the infile statement and let the input statement do the separation for you.
data want;
infile cards dlm=':'
format
pdt_id 3.
pdt_name $20.
pdt_quantity 2.
;
input
pdt_id
pdt_name
pdt_quantity
