I see no limitation on the use of -if- with -xtpcse-. 

If your syntax here is a guide to what you typed, 
the comma in front of -if- is incorrect. 

Or it may be that your way of spelling out 

	if [13 indvars] ! . 

was incorrect. 

But in any case a condition of that form 
is redundant with almost all 
estimation commands. Stata automatically
ignores observations with values missing
on the covariates (independent variables, 
if you will).
