Thank you:)
Hi,
Do you want the entire value in single variable ???
That's straightforward:
data want;
attrib var1 format=$200.;
infile datalines;
input var1 $;
datalines;

run;
Though I presume you mean you want to read it in as separate variables? If so post process it, here is a quick example, you just need to do substrings and chop it up (or use perl regular expressions).
data want;
set want;
attrib first_string second_string format=$20. lastnum format=best.;
first_string=substr(var1,1,10);
lastnum=input(reverse(substr(reverse(strip(var1)),1,3)),best.);
second_string=substr(var1,11,length(strip(var1))-3);
run;
