you can do so using hash.

data winslow; id + 1; input A ; cards; 11 13 16 21 ; run;

data _null_; if _n_ = 1 then do; declare hash h (dataset: "winslow", hashexp: 4, ordered: 'a'); h.definekey ('id'); h.definedata ('id', 'A'); h.definedone(); declare hiter iter("h"); end;

do rc = iter.next() by 0 while (rc = 0); set winslow(rename = (a = aa)); rc = iter.next(); B = A - AA; if rc = 0 then do; put ' Next A = ' A ' Current A =' AA ' Current B = ' B; end; end; run;
