Somehow this looks like using a sledgehammer to swat a fly.  This should be pretty close to the mark:

 

data want;
   set have end=done;
   if x > 0 then positive_total + x;
   else negative_total + x;
   if done;
run;

This meets Saint-Exupery's definition of perfection.

No, this syntax automatically retains:
