Look at my answer to your other thread, there you see how it is solved with proc transpose.
Btw, is it a requirement to use SQL? Why not PROC TRANSPOSE?
SQL is a database language, and databases are not built in this way (data in structure). You could beat SQL into doing it with macro-preprocessing, but that would be stupid, considering that you just need 4 lines of proc transpose to achieve it.
