After having merged and reshaped a few datasets I ended up with a
dataset of 150 observations and 955 variables. I want to drop the
numerous variables that have only missing observations. It's tedious to
look through all these variables to find those with 150 missing
observations, and I wonder if there is a short and conveniant command
related to "drop" or "keep" that I can use to drop all variables where
all observations are missing.

-dropmiss- will do it. Or you can write a routine easily enough.

foreach var of varlist _all {
capture assert mi(`var')
if !_rc {
drop `var'
