If you are using Stat/Transfer to move your data into Stata, you can drop 
constants and totally missing variables by simply checking the option "Drop 
Constants" and then pressing the "Optimize" button on the "Variables" tab.

This is extremely useful when transferring a single year of a multi-year 
survey.

Best,

Steve
