And what is your question?

 

If you want to know where and how a function works, read up on its documentation (looking into the documentation will also reveal functions that are not available in SAS in the first place).

These are all ORACEL function, but NOT available in PROC SQL.
You can use these functions in Data Step or PROC RANK

Honestly, people had been asking window functions more than a decade ago, and yet we still don't freaking have some common functions. Is there a legit reason why SAS does not add new features for its users??
