My particular task is to eliminate all variables from the dataset
which are empty, that is, have no observations. The following bit of
code has done this, but surely there is a simpler way which I have
overlooked?
local droplist "drop "
foreach v of varlist * {
qui count if !mi(`v')
if r(N) == 0 local droplist "`droplist' `v'"
}
`droplist'

Kind regards,
Ian
