I saved your file and got the following result....

Perhaps you can adapt this to your needs.

1          filename in 'trailingat.txt' lrecl=122418;
2          data work.result;
3             infile in pad missover;
4             input var1 $f4. var2 $f7. var3 $f6. @;
5             do while(not missing(var3));
6                output;
7                input var3 $f6. @;
8                end;
9             run;

NOTE: The infile IN is:
      File Name=trailingat.txt,
      RECFM=V,LRECL=122418

NOTE: 1 record was read from the infile IN.
      The minimum record length was 122412.
      The maximum record length was 122412.
NOTE: The data set WORK.RESULT has 20401 observations and 3 variables.
