Yes. Your math appears incorrect or is it bad sample data?

Do you want the total to manipulate in another procedure for some reason? Or do you want to create a report with a sum total row?
Generally putting a total in the data leads to a number of potential problems if the data is used for input into other procedures.
data have;
input v1-v3;
datalines;
1 10 20
4 10 20
6 10 20
10 10 20
;
proc means data= have;
var v1-v3 ;
output out=want(drop=_: ) sum=;
run;
