I have a dataset like that. gvkey is firm identifier
gvkey | fyear | dvc | sharerepur | marketcap |
1004 | 1990 | 7.651 | 2.326 | 224.4604 |
1004 | 1996 | 7.976 | 0 | 564.3237 |
1004 | 1998 | 9.375 | 7.558 | 540.7748 |
1004 | 1999 | 9.218 | 0 | 372.7519 |
1004 | 2012 | 0 | 14.6 | 790.0029 |
1004 | 2014 | 11.9 | 151.5 | 1046.395 |
1004 | 2015 | 10.4 | 18.8 | 842.5112 |
1019 | 1996 | 0 | 0.539 | 22.581 |
1019 | 1997 | 0.33 | 2.977 | 37.41 |
1019 | 1998 | 0.329 | 0.504 | 35.604 |

1034 | 1991 | 2.709 | 3.759 | 417.3085 |
1034 | 2006 | 7.384 | 307.397 | 1038.686 |
From this date table I want to find number of firms, dividend paying firms and repurchasing firms in each year as well as their percentage. The table will look like that:
year | number of firms | dividend payers | percentage of divident payer | repurchasers | percantege of repurchases |
1990 | 1458 | 1052 | 72.15% | 350 | 24.01% |
1991 | 3452 | 852 | 24.68% | 523 | 15.15% |
1992 | 3452 | 965 | 27.95% | 152 | 4.40% |
1993 | 5499 | 123 | 2.24% | 452 | 8.22% |
1994 | 5212 | 185 | 3.55% | 854 | 16.39% |
I can get number of firms by proc freq but how can I get number of dividend payer and repurchaser?

How are you calculating/defining that based on the data you've provided?
If I understand your question correctly, what you want is something like this:
proc sql; create table want as select year, count(*) as no_of_firms, sum(DVC>0) as dividend_payers, calculated dividend_payers/calculated no_of_firms as pct_dividend_payers format=percent6.2, sum(sharerepur>0) as repurchasers, calculated repurchasers/calculated no_of_firms as pct_repurchasers format=percent6.2 from have group by year order by year ; quit;
