Why not proc transpose? It is the right tool for the job.    You could easily use a data step that will be something like this. If you provided the data in a form I could copy, I could test the code, but since you didn't I'll leave it to you to fill in the details

 

data;

 set;

 by notsorted cust;

retain checking mortage saving credit_card;

if account = 'checking' then checking = balance;

... three more obvious if then assignments to make the other variables ...

if last.cust then output;

drop account balance;

run;

 

There are other ways, of course, to do this.

You do that with proc transpose, period. Use the right tool for the task.

Anything else would involve a lot of meta-programming to make it flexible vis the values in account, and therefore be stupid.
