amt new_amt
2 2
-3 0
-4 0
5 5(-7)=-2 so should come zero and (-2 remaining value)
6 -2+6=4 (value 4 should come)(until value get positive)
7 7
-4 0
2 -4+2=-2 (negative so value should come 0)
finally
amt new_amt
2 2
-3 0
-4 0
5 0
6 4
7 7
-4 0
2 0
we have one data like negative and positive values are there if negative value is there then we have to subtract next value until get positive. I have give raw data and final data

5
6
7
-4
2
;
data want(drop = n);
set have;
new_amt = amt;
if new_amt < 0 then do;
n + new_amt;
new_amt = 0;
end;
if new_amt > 0 & n < 0 then do;
new_amt = max(0, new_amt + n);
n = min(n + amt, 0);
end;
run;
Result:
amt new_amt 2 2 -3 0 -4 0 5 0 6 4 7 7 -4 0 2 0
