Post test data in the form of a datastep!
data have; input Acc Date $ Arrears; datalines; 1 Jan 0 1 Feb 1 1 Mar 2 1 Apr 0 1 Jun 0 1 Jul 1 1 Aug 0 ; run; data want; set have; retain since_last 0; since_last=ifn(_n_=1 or arrears>0,0,since_last+1); run;
Use the lag() function to determine when you have a +1 increase, and then apply the solution from https://communities.sas.com/t5/Base-SAS-Programming/Number-of-months-since-value-x/m-p/365753
