I am interested in others' experience with this new procedure.  I was doing 
some testing today and noticed that it leaves some records unimputed.  If 
variables X1 through Xn are all to be imputed and there are some cases that are 
missing all n of these target variables, then the FCS option in SAS PROC MI 
leaves the variables missing on those cases.

I also note in the documentation that class variables are not allowed to be 
predictors for other variables that are modeled with the discriminant link.  
Seems like a rather severe limitation to me.

Has anyone tried to use it to be imputed several hundred or even several dozen 
variables at once?
