While I think the solutions posed by others so far will do the trick here,
they lack generality.  I have confronted this problem frequently, and I
believe what you need to do is simulate 3-valued logic.  Here is some code
that can be easily generalized.  I start with a data set containing your
variables id a b c d e.
local criteria a b c d e
foreach v of varlist `criteria' {
     tempvar `v'
