Replicate Data Within Table

How do I duplicate data but still process it? I know that you can use the output statement to create a duplicate record, but if you do any processing after this point it shows up as missing. You can see this in the Test dataset - the Runs field, created after the output statement, is blank for Smith's duplicated observation.

data have;
   infile datalines dsd;
   input Name : $9. Score1-Score3 Team ~ $25. Div $;
   datalines;
Smith,12,22,46,"Green Hornets, Atlanta",AAA 
Mitchel,23,19,25,"High Volts, Portland",AAA 
Jones,09,17,54,"Vulcans, Las Vegas",AA 
; 

data test;
set scores;
	if name = "Smith" then output;
	Runs=sum(Score1,Score2,Score3);
	output;
run;

data want;
   infile datalines dsd;
   input Name : $9. Score1-Score3 Team ~ $25. Div $ Runs $2.;
   datalines;
Smith,12,22,46,"Green Hornets, Atlanta",AAA,80
Smith,12,22,46,"Green Hornets, Atlanta",AAA,80 
Mitchel,23,19,25,"High Volts, Portland",AAA,67 
Jones,09,17,54,"Vulcans, Las Vegas",AA,80

Just do the calculation before the output statement?

data test;
set have;
	Runs=sum(Score1,Score2,Score3);
	if name = "Smith" then output;
	output;
run;
