Im stuck trying to do a running sum using by.  My problem is like:

Suppose we have serveral power distribution lines (composed of
serveral substations) all around the states. Suppose our variables are
LINE SUBST POWER

I want to generate a variable CUM_POW containing the cummulative sum
of POWER  by LINE SUBST

For instance,

LINE SUBST POWER CUM_POW
1          1          10             10
1          2          20             30
1          3          15             45
1          4           5              50

how goes the sintaxis for that?
