One way:

data want;
   set have;
   by id dose notsorted;
   if first.id then seq=0;
   else if first.dose then seq + 1;
run;

I don't believe you.  Prove me wrong by posting the log from your job where it doesn't work.

Don't be silly.

data have;
input id dose;
datalines;
1      20
1      20
1      17
1      17
1      15
1      15
;

data want;
   set have;
   by id dose notsorted;
   if first.id then seq=0;
   else if first.dose then seq + 1;
run;

proc print data=want noobs;
run;

Result:

id	dose	seq
1	20	0
1	20	0
1	17	1
1	17	1
1	15	2
1	15	2

EXACTLY what you want.
