This tutorial explains the difference between WHERE and HAVING clause in GROUP BY in SQL.
First we need to filter out all the product codes having value greater than 100 and then sum up sale by ID. Then keep only those IDs having sum of sales less than or equal to 5000.
1. First WHERE condition - WHERE ProductCode <= 100 executes. It removes all those cases wherein value of product code is greater than 100.
Key Difference
The WHERE condition is applied before the grouping occurs. Whereas, the HAVING condition is applied after the grouping occurs.

proc sql;
select ID, sum(Sale) as total_sale
from temp
where ProductCode <= 100
group by ID
having total_sale <= 5000;
quit;

How it works -
1. First WHERE condition - WHERE ProductCode <= 100 executes. It removes all those cases wherein value of product code is greater than 100.
2. Then sum up sale by group ID (after excluding the cases wherein productcode > 100)
3. HAVING condition executes at last. It filters out all the IDs having sum of sale greater than 5000.
