I think all the wisdom available from the list re this question is neatly
assembled in http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2009-12/msg00506.html


Misha`s solution obviously assumes only numeric variables. A string variable
with missings would lead to

type mismatch
r(109);


The -missing()- function offers an obvious alternative strategy.

It seems like you could loop through all your variables and drop those
with missing values.

local xlist "x1-x100"
foreach var of varlist `xlist'  {
	drop if `var' >=.
}
