Dear list
I have a question, I would like to get the following results but I dont know
how to do it:
I have a dataframe like this:

NC8                PROD                         X 1                X2
1423                 P1                                342               10
1564                 G5                                 56                 20
123                    G5                                  3
4
1568                    H2
6                      10
7864                    H2
5                      72
5693                      P3
7                       43

What I would like to do is the sum of the X1 and X2 variables by PROD, namely
getting another dataframe which looks like the following

NC8                PROD                         X 1
X2
1423                 P1                                342               10
1564                 G5                                 59                24
123                    G5                                  59
24
1568                    H2                                11
82
7864                    H2
11                    82
5693                      P3
7                       43


In Sas I know a function called proc means that can do it.
How can I do this in R???
