Ben,

If you add a merge to the end of Ya's suggested solution, you will end up
with one file that contains your stated desired result.

i.e.,

data xx;
  input x1-x6;
  cards;
1 2 1 2 1 2
1 2 1 1 1 1
1 2 1 2 1 2
1 1 1 2 1 2
1 4 4 4 1 2
run;
data xx;
  set xx;
  rn=_n_;
run;
proc transpose data=xx out=yy;
  by rn;
run;
proc univariate data=yy;
  by rn;
  output out=mod mode=mode;
run;
data xx (drop=rn);
  merge xx mod;
  by rn;
run;

However, since 'mode' is defined as the most frequent score, proc
univariate's output will be misleading when there is a tie for most frequent
score.
