If you want to create a summary data set, the first step is to read the documentation on PROC SUMMARY:

Since this looks a lot like homework what have you tried so far?

If you get errors or unexpected output we are very willing to help with addressing issues but doing someone else's homework without evidence of at least trying ...

Show code and any errors from the log by copy and paste into a code box opened using the forum {I} menu icon.

You are being asked to summarize data. Try searching the SAS online help for "summary" and see if anything pop up.

Thank you very much. I was trying to achieve this by using data step, but I was unable to make any sense out of it.
