PROC Star

First, create a format to perform the grouping:

 

proc format;

value neg0pos  low-<0 = '-'  0='0' 0-high='+';

run;

 

If there is the possibility of missing values in your data, you might want to account for those as well.

 

Then apply the format.  PROC FREQ does a good job counting:

 

proc freq data=have;

tables q1 * q2 / list missing;

format q1 q2 neg0pos.;

run;
