Multiple Imputation Warning that model contains more than 100 parameters

Troubleshooting


Problem

I used the Analyze>Multiple Imputation>Analyze Patterns... menu before completing the data with Analyze>Multiple Imputation>Impute Missing Data Values... However, all I get is a table of titled Warnings: The imputation model for [variable] contains more than 100 parameters. No missing values will be imputed. Reducing the number of effects in the imputation model, by merging sparse categories of categorical variables, changing the measurement level of ordinal variables to scale, removing two-way interactions, or specifying constraints on the roles of some variables, may resolve the problem. Alternatively increase the maximum number of parameters allowed on the MAXMODELPARAM keyword of the IMPUTE subcommand. This command is not executed. How can I impute missing values for my data?
