You can use the lag function/
If i take your example it may look like this:

A DATA step and investigate using the LAG function to use variable values from a previous observation. Have a look at the SAS.COM support website and the SAS Language Guide discussion on the LAG function. Also, there are also technical papers from prior conferences available on the website.
