In order to reference new columns in SQL you can use the CALCULATED keyword
See sample below:
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE ANA AS
SELECT CUST
,MAX(A) as max_a
,MAX(B) as max_b
,MAX(C) as max_c
, max(calculated max_a,calculated max_b,calculated max_c) as maxValue
from test
group by 1
;
quit;
But one could run another query on the ANA table to create the max column
