Try this

 

data have;
input name $ jan feb mar;
infile datalines dlm = '|' dsd;
datalines;
a|100|200|300 
b|100|   |400 
c|   |100|200 
d|   |   |500 
;

data want;
   set have;
   length concat $ 100;
   array m jan feb mar;
   do over m;
      if m then concat = cats(concat, vname(m));
   end;
   total = sum(of m[*]);
run;

 

Result:

 

name  jan  feb  mar  concat     total 
a     100  200  300  janfebmar  600 
b     100  .    400  janmar     500 
c     .    100  200  febmar     300 
d     .    .    500  mar        500
