Increment by months

Hi everyone,

Below I have data now for 2 firms.

data now;
input ticker $ EventDate EvntMonth;
datalines;

AA 09262013 9
ADI 11192012 11
;
run;

I want to create data like this (below demonstration ignore the second firms and the other 4 years after the AA's event date). The row will be added to five years after the event date for EACH firm. Please help to show me how I can do that. I am appreciated your help!

data want;
input ticker $ EventDate EvntMonth RealMonth countmonth AccMonth;
datalines;
AA 09262013 092013 9 0 092013
AA 09262013 092013 10 1 102013
AA 09262013 092013 11 2 112013 
AA 09262013 092013 12 3 122013
AA 09262013 092013 1 4 012014
AA 09262013 092013 2 5 022014
AA 09262013 092013 3 6 032014
AA 09262013 092013 4 7 042014
AA 09262013 092013 5 8 022014
AA 09262013 092013 6 9 022014
AA 09262013 092013 7 10 022014
AA 09262013 092013 8 11 082014
AA 09262013 092013 9 12 022014
;
run;

I look for the solution and find that Reeza used macro do loop for increment months as follows:

%macro loop;

%do i=1 %to 12;

%let date=%sysfunc(intnx(month, %sysfunc(today()), &i.), date9.);

%put &date.;

%end;

%mend;

%loop;

But I do not know how to apply it to my case. Please help me! thank you so much!

Try this

data want;
 set now;
 do Countmonth=0 to 12;
   EvntMonth =EventDate;
   AccMonth=intnx('month',EventDate,Countmonth);
   RealMonth =month(AccMonth);
   format EvntMonth AccMonth yymmn6. ;
   output;
 end;
run;
