I don't know how you can get a required sample size for Prescott's
test. That would require that you be able to quantify something about
the eventual table structure before you run the experiment.

Instead, use Prescott's test, but focus on a sample size for McNemar's
test or Maitland-Gart. You should be able to use PROC POWER to
help you there.
