st: total of a variable

["Rajiv Mallick" <rmallick@hotmail.com>]

Is there a way of collecting column total of variables and store in a .dta 
file.  How can I modify the following code to do that?

Rajiv

code
-----------
clear
use "D:\Stata\auto.dta", clear
rename price 	        price1
rename mpg   	        price2
rename headroom 	price3
local vars price1 price2 price3

postfile temp_res m1 m2 using "e:\clm\data\temp_res.dta",double
replace

foreach v of local vars {
 qui summ `v',detail
post temp_res (r(mean))
			}
postclose temp_res
clear
--------------------
end of code
