Hi, I am just trying to get my variables into Mplus and make sure everything looks right before I attempt my CFA. I'm confused by an error message that I am getting. My input looks like this: Title: Here goes nothing; Data: File is "Z:\dissertation_data_7-31-1.dat"; Format is free; Variable: Names are OBCSS1 OBCSS2 OBCSS3 OBCSS4 OBCSS5 OBCSS6 OBCSS7 OBSCSS8 (etc, etc); Usevariables are OBCSS1 OBCSS2 OBCSS3 OBCSS4 OBCSS5 OBCSS6 OBCSS7 OBSCSS8 (etc, etc) ; Missing are all (9999); Analysis: Type = basic; Unfortunately, when I run this, I receive an error that is referencing a variable that I am not using, and have not identified in the above input command. All of the above variables are numeric variables, but my error is in reference to a string variable (race/ethnicity) which is not included in the above mentioned variables. It seems that Mplus is trying to analyze different variables than the ones I am choosing. Any thoughts about why this might be? The error message says: *** ERROR Invalid symbol in data file: "Asian" at record #: 30, field #: 6 |

It sounds like you have characters in your data set. Search the data set for Asian. Please send the output, data, and your license number to support@statmodel.com if you can't figure this out.. |
