Given that the information is on paper, you will need to work with the paper-based information to create an INPUT statement. (Once you have the INPUT statement, building the rest of the DATA step is straightforward, but let me know if that is something you need help doing.)
Example based on the information you posted:
input @1 type $char3.
@4 ID $char4.
@5 Date ZD8.
;
You need to a bit about what goes into an INPUT statement. For example, if you were just reading 3 characters from columns 25 to 27 to assign to a numeric variable, you might be using:
input @25 numvar 3.;
You may need to understand what ZD means in your paper-based-instructions, and check the SAS instructions that would match. Here, I assumed that SAS would use its ZD informat, but you would need to check the details on that. (In the SAS documentation, look up INFORMATS.)
