Is there some reason you have BALANCE as a character variable?

 

data have;
input id $ balance;
datalines;
1 25
1 10
2 20
2 -30
3 40
3 80
4 -7
4 2
;
run;

proc sql;
    create table want as select *
    from have 
    group by id
    having min(balance)<0 and max(balance)>0;
run;

Thank you!

 

Your solution worked. 

 

Of course BALANCE should be numerical, my mistake.
