I am trying to create a prototype from the CAR file.
My goal is to create a new column, SALES2.

I want to carry the last value for the BMW cars (15600)
to the 1st record of the SALES2 column (the red text).

I thought of this on the elevator. 

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
MAX.SALES
BY COUNTRY
-*
PRINT SALES
BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'W GERMANY';
END
-RUN
-EXIT

Are you saying that you would like the final output to look like this:

COUNTRY CAR SALES SALES2
W GERMANY AUDI 7800 15600
BMW 8950
BMW 8900
BMW 14000
BMW 18940
BMW 14000
BMW 15600

It's an ugly hack, but...
  
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM LST.SALES WITHIN COUNTRY AS 'LSTSALES'
BY COUNTRY
PRINT SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'W GERMANY';
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMP
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE TEMP
PRINT COMPUTE CNTR/I7=LAST CNTR+1; NOPRINT
    CAR
    SALES
    COMPUTE SALES2/I11 MISSING ON = IF CNTR EQ 1 THEN LSTSALES ELSE MISSING;
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR NOPRINT
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET NODATA ''
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=SALES2, COLOR=RED, $
ENDSTYLE
END

🤣

If you are using 8.2x then the analytic functions can help

  
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
     COMPUTE SALES2/I6 = PARTITION_AGGR(LST.SALES, COUNTRY, B, E, LST);
BY  CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
PRINT 
     CAR.BODY.SALES
     COMPUTE SALES3/I6 = PARTITION_AGGR(LST.SALES, COUNTRY, B, E, LST);
BY  CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY  CAR.COMP.CAR
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'W GERMANY';
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLEMBEDIMG ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/warm.sty,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=N1,
     SEQUENCE=1,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=N2,
     SEQUENCE=5,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=N3,
     SEQUENCE=2,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=N4,
     SEQUENCE=3,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=N5,
     SEQUENCE=4,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
