both are numeric variables
example:
given want
1 4
0 4
1 4
1 4
1 4
0 4
0 4

There are lots of ways, choose of which to use, usually depends on what you plan to do next.

The above is the same as
proc sql;
create table want as
select *
from have a,(select sum(given) as want from have);
quit;
data want;
do until(lr);
set have end=lr;
sum+given;
end;
lr=0;
do until(lr);
set have end=lr;
output;
end;
run;
