How to get date from previous row and add days to it.

shari — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 01:49:33 GMT

data temp3;
input @1 grp 1. @5 dt yymmdd10.;
format dt date10.;
datalines;
1 2019-03-11
2 2018-12-15
2 .
2 .
3 2018-12-28
3 .

;

Can someone let me know how to get the missing values populated with previous date+5 days in the particular group.

For example in the group 2, I want to see the below result.

2 2018-12-15
2 2018-12-20
2 2018-12-25

Thanks in advance!
