You should sort but it does work notsorted.

 

DATA HAVE;
INPUT CODE TYPE$ CATEGORY$;
CARDS;
15 A Y6D
15 B K45
08 A LS7
08 B G27
63 A A09
63 A Q98
63 B Z98
05 A P09
10 A W87
;
   RUN;

data haveidx;
   set have;
   by code type notsorted;
   if first.type then i=0;
   i + 1;
   run;
proc transpose data=haveidx out=want prefix=Type_ delim=_;
   by code notsorted;
   var category;
   id type i;
   run;

If I have two variables to transpose instead of one, can I still do it with a transpose ? By example:

DATA HAVE;
INPUT CODE TYPE$ CATEGORY$ COLOR$;
CARDS;
15 A Y6D BLUE
15 B K45 YELLOW
08 A LS7 RED
08 B G27 RED 
63 A A09 BLACK
63 A Q98 WHITE
63 B Z98 GRAY
05 A P09 GREEN
10 A W87 GRAY
;
   RUN;

For this result:
