Morten, I do not have access to Stata at the moment, so I cannot replicate your problem. However, I would like to point out two things. If you are using Stata 12, there is no need to use -ice- since Stata's -mi- supports imputationa via chained-equations in the current version. (It is based on the work of Royston). Further, if you use Stata's -mi-, you do not need to specify conditions, as Stata will only impute "hard missings" (i.e. sysmiss). Create soft missing values (i.e. one of .a, .b, ..., .z) in your original dataset according to your conditions, as these values will not be imputed.
Do others agree that there is no need to ever use -ice- anymore if you have Stata 12? I'm quite happy to stick with one program if that is possible. But are there situations when you would still prefer -ice-?
