Whether the names are sorted or not, you can do it like this:
data want;
set sashelp.class;
output;
if age=15 then output; /* and repeat this line, if you want an additional copy */
run;
Good luck.
The base code was stolen from Astounding: using Macro to generalize your task:
%macro cpy (dname=,var=,i=);
data want;
set &dname;
output;
if age=&var then
do _n_=1 by 1 to &i;
output;
end;
run;
%mend;
%cpy (dname=sashelp.class,var=15,i=2)
