That's not enough information.  What indicates annulment?  Is it only when the previous record exactly matches this one, but minus?  What about:

a 100

a 100

1 -200

Is this an annullment?

 

What are the ordering variables here?

This works, not sure it will cover all eventualities though:

data test;
  input var1 $ var2;
cards;
A   200
A   100
A  -200
A   200
B   100
;
run;

data want;
  set test;
  retain newdiff flag;
  by var1;
  if first.var1 then do;
    newdiff=var2;
    flag=0;
  end;
  else if newdiff+var2=0 then flag=1;
  if flag=1 then do;
    flag=2;
    delete;
  end;
  if flag=2 then do;
    flag=0;
    delete;
  end;
run;
