Subject:      sum variables after proc transpose

Hi.  I'm new to SAS and have a question:
 
I have a macro which takes a sas dataset, and does a proc transpose on
the data, keeping all of the variables except X, which is being transposed
with:
 
ID X;
 
However, since the macro was meant to be generic, the variables created
by "X" are different each time.  So how do I SUM the newly created
variables without giving the variables a known name?  I thought of using
the PREFIX option, but the problem with that is that it will change the
column names in the output.
 
Thanks.
Joe.
