If you are interested in survival analysis than there is no need to do
so. You can just type:
stset Time, failure(Event) id(ID)
In case you have timevarying covariates you won't destroy your analysis
(as you would when you delete the cases you want to delete) and
otherwise it does no harm.
BTW do yourself a favour and loose the capital letters in the variables
names
Hope this helps,
