You can use the GROUPS= option in proc surveyselect. You must provide the exact set sizes of calculate them like this:

 

proc sql;
select 
    round(0.6*count(*)) as n1,
    round(0.1*count(*)) as n2,
    count(*) - calculated n1 - calculated n2 as n3
into :n1, :n2, :n3
from sashelp.class;
quit;

proc surveyselect data=sashelp.class groups=(&n1 &n2 &n3) out=samples;
run;
