Sorry, I don't understand: the first (new) column is to contain 50
means, but what is the second column to contain?
You can create a series that contains the means of the variables
in the current dataset (provided the number of variables is not
greater than the number of observations) using something like:
list L = dataset
series means = 0
loop foreach i L
means[i] = mean($i)
endloop
