There is no "6" in the source data. From where do you get it?

Why do you want to call column names XYZ ABC?  Doesn't seem good.  Anyways;

data want;
  set have;
  array t{5} $1 y z a b c;
  do i=1 to 5;
    t{i}=char(x,i+1);
  end;
  x=char(x,1);
run;

Note, again no test data in the form of datastep, so guessing on a lot of things!
