Creating a new Variable - Grouping columns by an interaction

Good night SAS friends:

Continuing the last post, i want to ask for some help to solve this problem, the data set is as follows:

data have;
input LAMBING_ORDER    ANIMAL     SEX$    DAM   SIRE ANIMAL_BIRTH_DATE:mmddyy10.    month_ABD    day_ABD    year_ABD    ANIMAL_BIRTH_TYPE;
format animal_birth_date yymmdd10.;
cards;
1    6870    M 1   2    10/13/2009    10    13    2009    1
1    5555    F 3   4    10/14/2009    10    14    2009    1
1    5556    M 5   6    10/14/2009    10    14    2009    2
1    5557    M 5   6    10/14/2009    10    14    2009    2
1    5558    M 7   8    10/15/2009    10    15    2009    2
1    5559    F 9 10    10/15/2009    10    15    2009    2
1    5560    F 9 10    10/15/2009    10    15    2009    2
1    5561    F 11 10    10/15/2009    10    15    2009    2
1    5562    F 11 10    10/15/2009    10    15    2009    2
1    5563    M 12 10    10/16/2009    10    14    2009    1
1    5564    F 12 10    10/16/2009    10    14    2009    1
2    6971    F 12 10    10/27/2010    10    13    2010    3
2    6972    F 12 10    10/27/2010    10    13    2010    3
2    6973    M 12 10    10/27/2010    10    13    2010    3
;

Using the informarion of SEX and birth_type, its needed to create a new variable associated to each animal considering the interaction of birth type with lamb sex resulting this vaues:

1 - one male lamb (this means: birth_type = 1 and sex = M)

2 - one female lamb, (this means: birth_type = 1 and sex = F)

3 - two male lambs, (this means: birth_type = 2 and sex = M, from the same DAM)

4 - two females lambs, (this means: birth_type = 2 and sex = F, from the same DAM)

5 - one male lamb and one female lamb (this means: birth_type = 2 and sex = M and F, from the same DAM)

6 - more than two lambs, independent of sex (this means: birth_type = > 3 )

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards

You didn't post the output you need yet ? Assuming I understand what you mean.
