Assuming you want the count of the number of patient ids where the value of N is 4.

proc sql;
  select count(*) from have
  where stat='N' and flag=4
  ;
quit;

You've posted what looks like a dataset of the output of a SAS procedure. 

 

How about posting some actual sample data? Are you simply wanting to select the items in a given data set that are in it 4 times?

 

proc sql;
select patientid, count(patientid)
from have
group by patientid
having count(patientid) = 4;
run;

Go back to your proc means step and use the ODS OUTPUT instead of the OUT data set, it's a cleaner format.

 

proc means data=sashelp.class nway stackods N MEAN MIN MAX ;
class sex;
var age;
ods output summary=want;
run;

proc print data=want;
run;
