Something like this, perhaps?

Data want;
  do until(last.client);
    set have(rename=(Current_Product=Product Year_month=Previous_Product_Year_month));
    by client Product notsorted;
    if first.client then 
      Current_Product=Product;
    else if first.product then do;
      Previous_Product=Product;
      output;
      end;
   end; 
   keep client Current_Product Previous_Product Previous_Product_Year_month;
run;
