A detail orthogonal to this thread: 

ds, not(type string) 

is a backwards way of saying 

ds, has(type numeric) 

The two are equivalent, but some may prefer the direct statement.

So here is an implementation of Eva`s excellent advice as to the causes
of 
Mandy`s problem:

*************
clear*
set mem 400m
* enter the percentage of missings here
loc mis 0.01
u http://www.stata-press.com/data/imeus/traffic, clear
foreach var of varlist fatal beertax spircons unrate perincK {
 replace `var'=. if runiform()<`mis'
}

qui xtreg fatal beertax spircons unrate perincK, fe
tempvar dummy
g `dummy'=e(sample)


qui ds, not(type string)
foreach var of varlist `r(varlist)'{
egen std`var'=std(`var') if `dummy'
}

xi: reg fatal beertax spircons unrate perincK i.state if `dummy', beta
xtreg stdfatal stdbeertax stdspircons stdunrate stdperincK if `dummy',
fe
