The only code you show is SQL, so I'm giving you an SQL answer:

select code, username, userid, count(*) as code_count
group by code, username, userid
order by code, code_count

To get the "top five" out of that select statement, you can use the RANK() function:

select 
    code, 
    username, 
    userid, 
    count(*) as code_count,
    rank() over (ORDER BY code_count DESC) as code_rank
where code_rank <= 5
group by code, username, userid

The rank() function doesn't seem to be supported on Sybase ASE. Maybe you can create the select as a view and then use some rowid trickery to get at the top five users per code group.
