st: Restricting range for predictions from multiple imputation

Hi listers,
This question comes from a colleague who is using Stata's -ice- module to impute
a continuous variable. Many imputed values are negative which are not sensible
in her analysis. I was wondering if there was a way to specify a restricted
range to ensure that all imputed values are positive or within a specified
range. Someone mentioned that SAS does that by discarding out of range
predictions and then re-imputing. I wonder if there is a way to deal with this
in Stata?
Thanks,
Shehzad
