You can't solve it in "STATA" (see the last entry of the list FAQ for the reason why), but you can probably solve it in Stata . The phenomenon you describe is not left censoring, at least in the survival terminology that Stata uses, but left-truncation, and the pre-defined period is the truncation point.
See the Statalist thread beginning at: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-04/msg01276.html
especially the Wooldridge reference given in http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-04/msg01324.html
For a solution in Stata, download -stregshared- from http://vandenberg.vwl.uni-mannheim.de/2999.0.html . I haven't tried it so can't give any advice about it.

Dear users,
I'm dealing with left-side censoring of the primary regressor in my empirical model (in more detail, the
duration of a phenomenon is my independent variable and it may be observed onlysince a pre-defined period onwards).
How do you treat this problem with STATA ?
Thanks
