lag3=lag3(var1);

lag4=lag4(var1);

sum_of_five=sum(var1,lag1,lag2,lag3,lag4);

Just to add a little variety:

sum_of_five + var1;

back5 = lag5(var1);

if back5 > . then sum_of_five = sum_of_five - back5;

run;
proc sql;
 create table want as 
  select *,(select sum(var1) from have where obs between a.obs and a.obs+4) as sum
   from have as a;
 quit;

Those are great ideas and certainly would be much less coding (especially if someone wanted the running average of 10 or 20 data points). Thanks!
