Given with "where" condition, I have 116 death_of_diagnosis_mm=99. After run with rand("INTEGER", death_of_death_mm) those 119 missing values are simply replaced by .

Strange.

Since INTEGER does not work, the function call creates a missing value. That's clear from the log.

Use UNIFORM instead, that has been around since the beginning of rand().
