Martin is correct. Thanks for the fix.
|| is legal for "or" in several languages, including Mata, but not in
Stata.
drop if id==2 | id==215 | id==302 | id==420 | id==579

BTW, I think Nick`s solution should be written with a single pipe symbol
for
it to work as intended:
clear*
inp byte( id number)
1 34
2 43
3 67
4 56
6 78
end
cap drop if id==2 || id==4
di in r _rc
drop if id==2 | id==4
The double pipes are for separation of subgraphs in a -twoway- graph or
levels in -xtmixed-...
Nick Cox:
Just to mention another solution (not as good in this example)
drop if id==2 || id==215 || id==302 || id==420 || id==579
