you need space between do and _i_ (index variable) as shown below. as you have it as do_i_. your warning also gives a clue about this.

 data RV2;

  retain _seed_ 0;

 n=20;

 p=0.6;

 do _i_ = 1 to 100;

 binorm1= ranbin(_seed_,n, p);

output;

  end;

  drop _seed_ _i_;

run;

WARNING: The variable i in the DROP, KEEP, or RENAME list has never been referenced. which means your index variable never got created.
