Please clarify what you mean by a mention. What level of measurement
are the variables representing them?
What do you mean by combine?
Perhaps post a small data set with variables "id x1m1 to x1m8 " and "want".
something like
data list list/ id (f3) x1m1 to x1m8 (8f8.3) want (f16.5).
begin data
. . .
end data
put correct formats for your example data on the data list line.
Put some example data where the ellipsis is.
