i figured it out!
it just required some logic and minor data manipulation.
data have;
length report section class1 class2 grp 8 var2 var1 var4 var3 $8;
do report=1;
do section = 1 to 2;
if section = 1 then do;
do class1=0 to 1;
do class2 = 4 to 1 by -1;
if class2 = 4 then class3 = " "; else class3=class2;
do grp = 1 to 2;
if class1 = 0 then do;
if class2 = 4 then do;
if grp = 1 then do;
var2="k"; var1="1"; var4=" "; var3=" ";output;
end;
else do;
if grp = 2 then do;
var2=" "; var1=" "; var4=" "; var3=" ";output;
end;
end;
end;
else do;
if class2 = 3 then do;
if grp = 1 then do;
var2="k"; var1="z"; var4="z"; var3=" ";output;
end;
else do;
if grp = 2 then do;
var2=" "; var1="y"; var4="y"; var3=" ";output;
