Because the data are in one row per person, you can get it with a FREQ TABLE statement like

TABLES paper1*paper2;
BY gender agegroup;

then you just add up all the cells other than the 0-0 one for each age and sex category.

With a DATA step, you could get at it more directly;

DATA new;
SET old;
AnyPaper = paper1*paper2;
RUN;

PROC FREQ DATA=new;
TABLES gender*agegroup*anypaper;
RUN;
