Hi

Could anyone help on how to create a new column(total) by adding the sum of two numerical variables(var1, var2) from the main table, using proc sql?

For example,

if i want to add var1 and var2 columns and name the new column as total, from work.project. 

 

Thanks

Is this a serious question? 

 

proc sql;

 select *, sum(var1,var2) as total

from your_table;

quit;
