Dear Prakash thank of trying. i generated the variable, i used as in the example to follow.

sort Nr
. gen long order = _n
. egen select = tag(Nr)
. gen random = runiform()
. sort select random
. replace select = _n> (_N-10)
(24091 real changes made)
. bysort Nr (select): replace select = select(_N)

Dear Moumin, I am not sure whether this will help you or not but what
looks to me is select is a generated variable.
I am just putting this command for your understanding form the same
place you have used the example of command
bysort hhid (select): replace select = select[_N]
egen select = tag(hhid)

>> I am having difficult in selecting suitable sample from a stata dataset with multiple observations per Id variable. The data is many as 27000 observations. But there are many id variable with multiple observation, and more than 15 variables, for example if variable var1 is the id variable and it has observation “A” which is repeated 10 times, I want a random selection which if it selects observation "A" in var1, then it selects all observations of “ A”, not only once, but 10 times in this case.
