But if your data is already sorted by ID, a datastep should be faster:

 

data want;
do until(last.ID);
	set have; by ID;
	t = max(t, test);
	end;
if t <= 60;
keep ID;
run;

The simplest way might be to use SQL:

 

proc sql;
create table want as
select ID
from have
group by ID
having max(test) <= 60;
quit;

How do I still keep the ID and create a new ID variable for those who have test <=60?

As in the table below,  want to keep the list of ID and have "ID1" as a new variable to represent the ones that have test <=60

I want an output to look like this

ID

ID1
