Try adding this code to your first data step.

 

retain want 0;

if have=. then want=.;

else; want+1;

i tried above code 

 

Data New1;
set new;
retain want 0;
if have=. then want=.;
want+1;
run;

 

i got wherever missing(.) its retained as 1 so tried instead of missing(.) as (-1) its working fine.

 

Data New1;
set new;
retain want 0;
if have=. then want= -1;
want+1;
run;
