Here's a somewhat different SQL solution:

create table want as select * from ( select id , visit , case when sum(aa)=2 then 1 else . end as o_aa , case when sum(bb)=2 then 1 else . end as o_bb , case when sum(cc)=2 then 1 else . end as o_cc , case when sum(dd)=2 then 1 else . end as o_dd , case when sum(ee)=2 then 1 else . end as o_ee from have group by id, visit ) natural join have ;

This generates missing values, as requested, rather than zeroes.

The same logic can be used in a DATA step:

data want; do until (last.visit); set sorted; by id visit; array aaee(5) aa bb cc dd ee; array o_aaee(5) o_aa o_bb o_cc o_dd o_ee; do i = 1 to 5; o_aaee(i) = sum( o_aaee(i), aaee(i) ); end; end; do i = 1 to 5; if o_aaee(i)=2 then o_aaee(i) = 1; else o_aaee(i) = .; end; do until (last.visit); set sorted; by id visit; output; end; run;

Both the SQL and DATA step solutions would be less verbose and less complicated if the data structure were normalized (ie, if the data in variables AA through EE were stacked in one column).
