st: Observations that keep a feature in the whole sample period

Hi, Statalisters. I want to focus on agents in my dataset that have a
particular feature; specifically, for those agents, and for each and every
period (out of 64), the value of a variable (const_a) is larger than a
particular threshold (0.097116). I have done what I show below.
Nevertheless, I have realized that some of my agents are not in the sample
since the first period, so what I am doing would mistakenly eliminate
them. Will anyone help to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
bysort entity (date2): gen obs=_n
drop if const_a<0.097116
by entity: drop if obs[_N]<64
Miguel.
