if I understand what you are asking for correctly, I would do the following:

gen byte mintype=min(type), by(id)
gen byte maxtype=max(type), by(id)
ta id if mintype==0 & maxtype==1

note that if there are a maximum of 2 occurrences of the id there are
ways to do this in one statement, but from what you said it appears that
id can occur more than 2 times
