On the occasion of this thread and NJC`s solution: Why is it that Stata
requires no -sort-ing in Nick`s solution, but does require it if I prefix
the -by-? (For -max-, -sort-ing should not matter...)

This is an FAQ. 

An answer is 

egen anyB1 = max(B) , by(id) 
l if anyB1

The rationale is discussed at tedious length in

members of a group) possess some characteristic?

The basic simplified problem is as follows.
2 variables A (id) and B(0/1)
I would like to list all observations of all A's for which there is at
least one B=1.
-list- lists only the particular observations...
