       110 111 101 113 109

       108 105 101 109 101

       122 123 124 125 101

     ;

     run;

data rambo;

  set rambo;

  counter = 0;

run;

data rambo_counter (drop = counter);

  set rambo;

  by counter;

  if first.counter then  output;

  counter = counter +1;

  if last.counter then  output;

run;

proc print data = rambo_counter;

run;

Sounds like another question from the same homework assignment.  Similar tools, which you may need to look up and study:

data want;

  set have nobs=_nobs_;

  output;

  set have point=_nobs_;

  output;

  stop;

run;

Good luck.
