Presuming what Richie is looking for is related to the problem he posed last
week, he is probably looking for something similar to:

data c (drop=var3 var4 var5 counter);
  retain var1 var2;
  retain var1 var2 var3_1 var4_1 var5_1
                           var3_2 var4_2 var5_2
                           var3_3 var4_3 var5_3;
  array v1{3}  $ var3_1 var3_2 var3_3;
  array v2{6} var4_1 var5_1 var4_2 var5_2 var4_3 var5_3;
  do _n_=0 by 1 until(last.counter);
    set b;
    by counter;
    if _n_ <= 2 then do;
      v1{1+_n_}   = var3;
      v2{1+2*_n_} = var4;
      v2{2+2*_n_} = var5;
    end;
  end;
run;
