Answer / puja
Its total of each variable and not row total i suppose
hence the syntax can be given as
proc sql;
create table SUM as
select sum(a) as sum_a,
sum(b) as sum_b,
sum(c) as sum_c,
sum(d) as sum_d,
sum(e) as sum_e,
sum(f) as sum_f
from input_dataset_name;
quit;

Answer / manoj
Or instead of giving all the var-list you can just give:-
Proc print data= sas data set;
sum _numeric_;
run;
It will give sum of all the numeric variable present in the dataset.
Else if you have all the variables as numeric type, then you can give :-
Proc print data= sas data set;
sum _all_;
run;

Answer / anik chatterjee
The last answer is right but if all the values are missing
then sum function will give a note in log. Best way to add
0 with all value. Hence if all value is missing then total
would be 0 and no note will be there.
proc sql;
create table SUM as
select sum(a) as sum_a,
sum(b,0) as sum_b,
sum(c,0) as sum_c,
sum(d,0) as sum_d,
sum(e,0) as sum_e,
sum(f,0) as sum_f
from input_dataset_name;
quit;
