You could do it with the TRANSPOSE Procedure:

PROC TRANSPOSE DATA=HAVE OUT=WANT (RENAME =(_NAME_  = 'HEADER 1'N COL1 = 'HEADER 2'N));

VAR STATE_CODE--L3_NAME;

RUN;

You could do it with a do loop as follows.

DATA WANT;

  SET HAVE;

  ARRAY C_VARS STATE_CODE--L3_NAME;

  DO I = 1 TO HBOUND(C_VARS);

  'HEADER 1'N = VNAME(C_VARS{I});

  'HEADER 2'N = C_VARS{I};

  OUTPUT;

  END;

  KEEP 'HEADER 1'N 'HEADER 2'N;

RUN;

You can also use the DATA | TRANSPOSE task if you want to use the EG point and click functionality.
