Thanks for the tip David.  Autoname works with all the statistic keywords.
I had always used the _numeric_ shorthand to get at all the numeric
variables:

proc means data = sashelp.class noprint;
     var _numeric_;
     output out=yy sum= mean= std= / autoname;
run;

People,
I have found a way to easily run a statistic against many varibables.
proc means data = xx;
by var(s);
output out = yy;
sum= / autoname;
run;
This will sum all numeric variables.  It will add _sum to the end of each
variable in the output dataset.  I would assume it works with other
statistics.  Though I have not tested any.

I have found it useful.
